Lose Control lyrics by Teddy Swims

Something's got a hold of me lately

No, I don't know myself anymore

Feels like the walls are all closing in

And the devil's knocking at my door, whoa

Outta my mind, how many times

Did I tell you I'm no good at being alone?

Yeah it's taking a toll on me, trying my best to keep

From tearing the skin off my bones

Don't you know

I lose control

When you're not next to me?

I'm falling apart right in front of you

Can't you see

I lose control

When you're not next to me?

Yeah, you're breaking my heart, baby

You make a mess of me

Problematic, problem is

I want your body like a fiend, like a bad habit

Bad habit's hard to break when I'm with you

Yeah I know, I could do it on my own, but I want

That real full moon black magic and it takes two

Problematic, problem is

When I'm with you I'm an addict

And I need some relief, my skin in your teeth

Can't see the forest through the trees

Got me down on my knees, darling please, oh

I lose control

When you're not next to me

I'm falling apart right in front of you

Can't you see

I lose control

When you're not next to me?

Yeah, you're breaking my heart, baby

You make a mess of me, yeah

I lose control

When you're not here with me

I'm falling apart right in front of you

Can't you see

I lose control

When you're not here with me?

Yeah, you're breaking my heart, baby

You make a mess of me
