[Intro – low, restrained] Yeah… Funny how you tell yourself you’re fine… Till you actually listen… ⸻ [Verse 1] I keep saying I’m in control But I’m bargaining with my soul Every line that I redraw Looks a lot like it did before Got a voice saying “steady now” Got another saying “let it out” I’ve been dancing on that edge Like I don’t know what it’s about ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Tell me where the truth begins When I’m arguing with my own head ⸻ [Chorus – BIG, anthemic] This is my so-called control Holding tight while I let go Say I’m fine but I don’t know Who I am beneath it all This is my so-called grace Smile worn across my face Every time I lose my place I just call it “one bad day” ⸻ [Verse 2] I don’t want to burn it down But I flirt with the thought somehow Like I need to feel the crash Just to prove I can turn around Yeah I’ve seen what it can do Yeah I swore that I was through But the quiet’s way too loud When there’s nothing left to lose ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Tell me why I justify Every time I cross that line ⸻ [Chorus – bigger] This is my so-called control Holding tight while I let go Say I’m fine but I don’t know Who I am beneath it all This is my so-called grace Smile worn across my face Every time I lose my place I just call it “one bad day” ⸻ [Bridge – stripped, raw] I’m not broken… I just bend But I don’t know where it ends If I’m honest… if I stay Do I lose it anyway? ⸻ [Final Chorus – full power] This is my so-called control No more hiding what I know If I fall I’ll take it slow But I won’t pretend no more This is not just one bad day This is something I won’t fake If I’m walking through the flame I’ll come out without the shame
