[Verse 1]

I don't understand why I'm chasing affection

At dinner with this girl I'm barely paying attention

I got you on my mind I'm never learning my lesson

Cause when you pull the plug you end up losing connection

Even when you're next to me I'm feeling the distance

Every other day is like, tell me what is this

Only when you're lonely you're like baby I miss this

Once upon a time you were all on my wishlist

All i wanted for Christmas

Now I'm driving more to leave it all behind

I'll tell you that I'm doing just fine

I'll tell you that you're special, that you're one of a kind

So I don't break your heart like you did mine

Losing control is like the worst phrase

Like tell me when I had it in the first place

Like tell me when I had it in the first place

Thought our story would be longer than the first page

Need to vent it out, don't you get it now

I'll write a thousand lines just to get it out

I need to let it out for me to get around

If I ever had control it's gone now

Our picture frame is perfect but I see the broken pieces

You got my favorite sweater, don't you worry you can keep it

I think about us all the time and know that ain't a secret

If you told me you loved me I don't know if you would mean it

All I know is this feeling is getting old

If you saw me you would think nothings wrong

I don't know if I'll ever have control

I haven't felt like myself in so long


[Hook]

Rhyme through the city like ain't nothing to it

Got a smile on my face like ain't nothing to it

Like yeah yeah yeah same things what we doing

Every time I send a text I'm like man what you doing

Took the back roads

Now I'm headed for the sunset

I hate when you get upset

But lately I've been upset

And lately I'm adjusting

To everything that we been

To everything that we said

And everything I never meant

And every call I never sent

If there's one thing you should know

I'm losing control


[Verse 2]

I said a lot of things that I didn't mean

But those feelings came from somewhere

Riding in your neighborhood doing me

And we're fighting in my car like why'd I come here

And if you're listening now, I wanna tell you what's worth it

Without imperfections how can I tell you what's perfect

I broke you more than promises you didn't deserve it

And every sorry you heard it but tell me how could I word it

That wasn't all me, it was me and you

There should be a word for it, you heard me too

Instead of heartbreak, why'd you give me two

Young and naive like, I'll never leave

Now we're never together

You say it's for the better and our feelings whatever

I'll put my heart in a tether

And I'll keep writing these letters as if I never cared

Put a smile on my face like I never cared

The way you replying it's like you never cared

Did you forget who we were, cause I was there

It's hard to blame you when I'm feeling it too

It's hard to be okay when I'm better with you

It's hard to move on running into you

I'm losing control I don't know what to do


[Hook]

Rhyme through the city like ain't nothing to it

Got a smile on my face like ain't nothing to it

Like yeah yeah yeah same things what we doing

Every time I send a text I'm like man what you doing

Took the back roads

Now I'm headed for the sunset

I hate when you get upset

But lately I've been upset

And lately I'm adjusting

To everything that we been

To everything that we said

And everything I never meant

And every call I never sent

If there's one thing you should know

I'm losing control
