## Lyrics

[Verse]

I’ve been pulling at the chains

Oh, I’ve tried everything

I’m begging you on my knees

But baby you’re ruthless

Baby you got me under lock and key

Oh, how do you know when I’m able to run?

You come back just in time so I can’t leave

Why do, oh, why do I let you do this to me?

[Chorus]

You have taken control of me

You have me hypnotized, darling, my body is yours to keep

I know, oh I know that I am the only one who can set me free

Darling, oh darling won’t you take control of me?

[Verse]

What is it about you that I can’t describe?

I fall for the same thing every time

And even when you left

When you said goodbye

Oh I came around when you changed your mind

Baby I’m speechless from your holy hands

No one else can make me feel alive

Why do, oh, why do I let you do this to me?

[Chorus]

You have taken control of me

You have me hypnotized, darling, my body is yours to keep

I know, oh I know that I am the only one who can set me free

Darling, oh darling won’t you take control of me?

[Bridge]

I know, oh, I know that I am the only one who can save me

Won’t you, won’t you take control?

[Chorus]

You have taken control of me

You have me hypnotized, darling, my body is yours to keep

I know, oh I know that I am the only one who can set me free

Darling, oh darling won’t you take control of me?

[Verse]

All I know is this game of touch and go

Most of my words are left unsaid

The more you take the more I give

And when there’s nothing left, you’ll be here kicking at rubble

[Pre-Chorus]

Raise your glass here’s to another night you won’t remember

Raise your glass here’s to another night I won’t forget

[Chorus]

In the morning I’ll feel more alone, and

In the morning you’ll still be here

I will stand there staring at myself, I will see, I will see

See the person I never wanted to be, in the morning

[Verse]

It added up, one wrong turn too many times

I let you get inside my head

What you planted grew unkind, inside out tore up my mind

Can’t trust these thoughts of mine

[Chorus]

In the morning I’ll feel more alone, and

In the morning you’ll still be here

I will stand there staring at myself, I will see, I will see

See the person I never wanted to be, in the morning

[Bridge]

Down, down, down, I think I’m going down, I got caught up in your moment

Down, down, down, I don’t know what matters now I got so lost in your moment

Down, down, down forget about it now, forget about it now, forget about it now

Down, down, down I think I’m going down

[Post Chorus]

Down, down, down, in the morning

Down, down, down, forget about it now

Down, down, down, down

Down, down, down, forget about it now

In the morning I’ll feel more alone (down, down, down)

In the morning you’ll still be here (forget about it now)

I will stand here (I will stand here, down, down, down) I will see, I will see

The person I never wanted to be, in the morning
