Control
Face Tomorrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Away from you
Cause I need some time
To unleash this anger of mine
I'm in the dark
To hide from you
Where time can heal
I care a lot
But not for you
When you fell apart
You broke down and took me along
I'm on the run
Away from you
Where time can heal
Almost all my wounds
Now I can't get out
You locked me in
And I realize
That I never will
And you're still outside and well
While I roam around in hell
And I am afraid of the dark
I've lost control
Of me
Nowhere to go
And nothing to see
I've lost control
Of me
Of me

I'm on the run
I am escaping from you
Away from you
Going far from you and your influence
Cause I need some time
I need to be alone for a while
To unleash this anger of mine
To release the rage that has been building up inside of me
I'm in the dark
I am hiding from you in the shadows
To hide from you
To avoid being seen by you
Where time can heal
I am hoping that some time alone will help me feel better
Almost all of my wounds
To recover from most of the pain I am feeling
I care a lot
I am a very caring person
But not for you
But not for you anymore
When you fell apart
When you had your breakdown
You broke down and took me along
Your problems affected me too
Where time can heal
I am hoping that some time alone will help me feel better
Almost all my wounds
To recover from most of the pain I am feeling
Now I can't get out
I am now trapped
You locked me in
You are the one who trapped me
And I realize
I am becoming aware
That I never will
That I will never escape
And you're still outside and well
You are still free and doing fine
While I roam around in hell
But I am suffering in my own personal hell
And I am afraid of the dark
I am scared of being alone
I've lost control
I am no longer in charge
Of me
Of my life
Nowhere to go
I am stuck here
And nothing to see
There is nothing good to look forward to
I've lost control
I am no longer in charge
Of me
Of my life
