Control
Why is that you still want to control me
Don't you want to see me happy and free
Why is your stronghold such a hard thing to break
Why do you put more on me than I can take
Why do you take so much enjoyment over controlling me
Do you not anticipate that one day I will be free
Why do I keep you and allow you to run things
Realising its nothing but despair it brings
Why do you feel that you need to control me
Don't you understand that this is not how it should be
Why are you still here and why can't you go
I'm supposing first you need another weak body to go
Why can't you just stop controlling me
Don't you realise your effect on me other people can see
Why are you so addictive and yet so bad for my health
Why do you cost me so much more than my wealth
Why do you think that I won't stop you controlling me
Don't I understand that I actually gave you the key
Why can't I now take stock of the reigns
So that I can stop you controlling me again
Why do you have such control over me
Do you not comprehend this is not how it is to be
Why has it taken me so many years to finally realise
Why your control makes me look weak in other's eyes
