Lyrics
Well I've been wondering what you want me to do
With the things you left behind
I no longer understand what's with you
Or the workings of your mind
'Cause you took off in such a hurry that day
And my house is full of crazy things that you have thrown away
Without words, with that look, you react, take your bags
And take control
Lately people seem to flock to your side
In search of your guiding light
With your simple facts, you help them decide
It's either black or white
You've got the cleanest reputation in town
And people put their trust in you; you cannot let them down
Underneath, deep inside, you are weak
With your struggle for control
When I see you now, you're pouring water on your fire
Drowning love and passion, boxing up your soul
This desire for control is now controlling your desire
Pretty soon you won't have anything at all
Except your control
When life gets rough some people will hide
Some people stand and take the heat, and swallow up their pride
And then some sacrifice everything to remain
In control
With the things you left behind
I no longer understand what's with you
Or the workings of your mind
'Cause you took off in such a hurry that day
And my house is full of crazy things that you have thrown away
Without words, with that look, you react, take your bags
And take control
Lately people seem to flock to your side
In search of your guiding light
With your simple facts, you help them decide
It's either black or white
You've got the cleanest reputation in town
And people put their trust in you; you cannot let them down
Underneath, deep inside, you are weak
With your struggle for control
When I see you now, you're pouring water on your fire
Drowning love and passion, boxing up your soul
This desire for control is now controlling your desire
Pretty soon you won't have anything at all
Except your control
When life gets rough some people will hide
Some people stand and take the heat, and swallow up their pride
And then some sacrifice everything to remain
In control
