I Don't Want To Lose Control

I Don’t Want to Lose Control

02/26/07

It’s so hard when you’re struggling to make sense of your life

And there is no one out there to say you’re doing fine

It’s so hard when the only clouded voices that you hear

Are telling you to give up and buy into your fears

Still you work it through every day, just trying to do your best

The times they are a changing and each moment is a test

But through it all you’ve questioned every step along the way

And now you’re even wondering what happened to brighter days

Now I don’t want to lose control

And I don’t want to lose my soul

And I don’t want to feel that way again

No I don’t want to be confused

And I don’t want to be abused

No I don’t want to be without a friend

Because the darkness is so scary when you see it as the truth

And the coldness is so chilling when you don’t know what to do

Oh the blindness of a true love is something you only dream

For the blindness you are sensing is a far more tragic scene

You feel you are falling down an endless mammoth hill

You try to reach for branches but your attempts are losing still

You don’t know where to get off or how long you will fall

And all you’ve got is suffering to guide you through it all

(Music)

But you’re sensing a little anger, a little hatred and some rage

You even think the hill is really only made up fate

Still as you fall you hear a call of something from inside

It’s telling you to slow down and follow a different guide

This time you stop to reach out for another broken branch

This time you see the value taken this fall into your hands

You dig so deep with your feet as the rocks turn into sand

And than before your very eyes you stop and take a stand

For I don’t want to lose control

And I don’t want to lose my soul

And I don’t want to feel that way again

No I don’t want to be confused

And I don’t want to be abused

No I don’t want to be without a friend
