Lose Control
Lyrics:
[English]
Something's got ahold of me lately
No, I don't know myself anymore
Feels like the walls are all closing in
And the devil's knocking at my door
Whoa
Out of my mind, how many times
Did I tell you I'm no good at being alone
Yeah, it's taking a toll on me
Tryin' my best to keep from
Tearing the skin off my bones
Don't you know
I lose control
When you're not next to me
I'm falling apart right in front of you, can't you see
I lose control
When you're not next to me, mm-mm
Yeah, you're breaking my heart baby
You make a mess of me
Problematic
The problem is I want your body like a fiend, like a bad habit
Bad habits hard to break when I'm with you
Yeah, I know I could do it on my own but I want that...
Black magic and it takes two
Problematic
The problem is when I'm with you I'm an addict
And I need some relief
My skin in your teeth
Can't see the forest through the trees
Got me down on my knees, darlin' please
Oh
I lose control
When you're not next to me
I'm falling apart right in front of you, can't you see
I lose control
When you're not next to me
Yeah, you're breaking my heart baby
You make a mess of me
I lose control
When you're not next to me
I'm falling apart right in front of you, can't you see
I lose control
When you're not next to me
Yeah, you're breaking my heart baby
You make a mess of me
...
