Cold Years – Control Lyrics

Control Lyrics by Cold Years

I walk these streets every day
Lost in the songs that rattle round in my brain
And all my life I was a throwaway
I’ll never make the same mistakes again

Sometimes, you have to make it on your own
Sometimes, you have to gamble it all

I watch my parents as they’re growing old
They spent their lives in love without parole
I spent my youth drinking out in the cold
Young love setting fire to my soul

Sometimes, you have to make it on your own

Sometimes, you have to gamble it all
I’m tired of being controlled

Bitterness, where have you gone?
I was scratching at the walls ‘cos I was lonely
It’s dangerous, I was too far gone
Everywhere and everyone forgets sometimes
You can’t make it on your own
Sometimes, you have to risk it all
I’m tired of being controlled

Everything’s changed and we’re never coming back again
The whole worlds turning on the lies of better days, and when I grew up in a small town, miles away from everything
I’m never looking back, and I’m never giving up again
I’m tired of being controlled
Control
I’m tired of being controlled
Sometimes, you can’t make it on your own
Sometimes, you have to risk it all
