Kevin Garrett - Control Lyrics






Everything's alone, it's just the way I left
I can't even trace where this other life began
Driving down the same old street
Sometimes I forget to breathe
But you won't ever hear me sing this one again

Far back in my memory I hear your words
But somehow someone's poisoned me and now they're cursed
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
I would never let you go
The only way it'd work is if I were provoked

O you had control
O so long ago

As hard as you can try this heart of mine won't break
Go ahead and knock me down there's so much I can take
I know that you wish me well
But darling I can never tell
It's tricky when your love is just some cry for help

O you had control
O so long ago
O you had control
O so long ago

Our pieces lingering in my head
Like rotten leaves you're choking me with the stench
Now I see so far down this road ahead
It doesn't mean whatever the hell we said

Rain is falling here on this other side of town
I'm sure that it's clear wherever you are right now
Say you don't believe in me
Just so I can finally leave
'Cos you're the only thing that's keeping me around

O you had control
O so long ago
O you had control
O so long ago

    Bryson Tiller in the beginning? Exchange!

  29. J.... T....

    who else gets a gut-wrenching feeling in their abdomen when he sings? its like he pulls memories out of the crevices of my head and gives a voice to the me that didn't have one. it makes me want to cry honestly and I don't know if it's because it's so damn cathartic or just so damn beautiful. I feel like I'm not alone when listening to this and even though this song is presumably about an ex, I can't help but equate the lyrics to experiences that weren't even romantic, just times where a choice was taken from me or when I was in a bad place with no way out. needless to say, this is a new favorite of mine 👍

  30. W.... A....

    There are different chords in the bit where he doesn't sing which I didn't quite get. But what I wrote is the general gist of the Bryson Tyller tune.

  68. D.... M....

    The piano's brand... we can only KG. It made me laugh.

    Love him soooo much. This version is the best. I think that day, specially, he was surrounded by all his magic at the same time.

    I've made him the soundtrack of my own life. His music is everywhere.

  69. c.... ....

  76. E.... W....

    If he'd axe the religion, he'd get more of my respect. As a singer he's amazing. As a religitard, he's sad.

    E.... W....
