Out of Control
Hoobastanks Lyrics

I've done everything as you say
I have followed all of your directions and done everything that you asked me to do.

I followed your rules without question
I strictly adhered to the regulations you set without any hesitance or inquiry.

I thought it would help me see things clearly
I believed that your guidance would aid me in gaining a clearer perspective.

But instead of helping me to see
Contrarily, these actions did not assist me in gaining any clarity.

I look around and its like I'm blinded
I observe my surroundings and it feels as if my vision has been obscured completely.

I'm spinning out of control out of control
My emotions and state of being are spiraling out of hand.

Where should go / What should I do
I am lost and do not know the appropriate steps to take.

I don't understand what you want from me
I am unable to comprehend what you expect me to do or how to satisfy you.

Cuz I don't know / if I can trust you
I am uncertain if I can place my faith in you or your actions.

Or the things you said to me
I am also unsure of the veracity of the statements that you have relayed to me.

I try to focus but everything's twisted
Attempting to concentrate, but everything appears distorted and convoluted.

And all along I thought you would be there (thought you would be there)
From the very start, I had assumed that you would be present for me.

So let me know I'm not alone
Please assure me that I am not isolated in my struggle.

But in fact that's exactly what I was
However, that is precisely what has occurred, and I am alone in this circumstance.

And I may never know / The answer to this endless mystery
It is plausible that I will never receive closure or comprehend the solution to this enigmatic situation.

Is it a mystery?
Rhetorically questioning if this predicament is truly one that is puzzling and inexplicable.

I'm spinning out of control out of control
Reiterating the fact that my state of being is quickly deteriorating.
