[Intro]

Mmm, mmm

[Verse 1]

Don't call my phone just to boast

'Bout all the all the good things that you do

Don't be so bold, I've seen your cold heart

Say good things, but bad ones too

[Pre-Chorus]

You wanna pick the world around me apart

One by one, destroying the ventures of my heart

You wanna make it look like I was at fault

I'm just a victim of excessive control

[Chorus]

How come I can't always be what I wanna be?

You still feel young, but this life's overcoming me ('Coming me)

Get me in play, picture frames on the mantle piece

Made me feel strange, manipulated, unknowingly

[Post-Chorus]

No, oh

Mmm, mmm

[Verse 2]

Don't tell me off just because

You let emotions get the best of you

And don't you dare consider scaring

Me into things I don't wanna do

[Pre-Chorus]

You wanna pick the world around me apart

One by one, destroying the ventures of my heart

You wanna make it look like I was at fault

I'm just a victim of excessive control

[Chorus]

How come I can't always be what I wanna be? (Wanna be)

You still feel young, but this life's overcoming me

Get me in play, picture frames on the mantle piece

Made me feel strange, manipulated, unknowingly

[Post-Chorus]

Mmm, unknowingly

Mmm, mmm

[Bridge]

I'm just a victim of excessive control

I'm just a victim of excessive control

I'm just a victim of excessive control

I'm just a victim of excessive control

[Chorus]

How come I can't always be what I wanna be?

You still feel young, but this life's overcoming me

Get me in play, picture frames on the mantle piece

Made me feel strange, manipulated, unknowingly

[Outro]

Unknowingly

Oh, how come I can't

How come I can't

Oh, unknowingly

Unknowingly

Control of me, mmm
