[Verse 1]
Well, situated from beginning but I'm ending appalled
Live to tell overrated short stories of the lady you loved
Once upon a time, fairytales took hold
Manipulating when the readers threw the writers a bone
Well, situated from beginning but I'm ending appalled
I'm changing on my own

[Chorus]
I think I'm out of control, I think I'm out of control
A pretty boy state of mind only got me alone
I think I'm out of control, I think I'm out of control
I fancy falling apart before I'm falling in love

[Post-Chorus]
We only started, we only started too late
Now we're parting our ways to be one of a kind
I'll take you back if you're feeling alive
I'll take you back if you're feeling alive
Babe, I'm all you need to survive
I'll take you back if you're feeling alive

[Verse 2]
"Hey," said the lady with a bittersweet look in her eye
"What a beautiful day," she pretended as her voice disappeared in a cry
I'll write you out of the story like you knew that I would
Living happily ever after never happens for good
Well, you're only getting what you want cause you're getting a rise
I'm just along for the ride

[Chorus]
I think I'm out of control, I think I'm out of control
A pretty boy state of mind only got me alone
I think I'm out of control, I think I'm out of control
I fancy falling apart before I'm falling in love

[Post-Chorus]
We only started, we only started too late
Now we're parting our ways to be one of a kind
I'll take you back if you're feeling alive
I'll take you back if you're feeling alive
Babe, I'm all you need to survive
I'll take you back if you're feeling alive
Back if you're feeling alive

[Bridge]
Well, freedom never let me down, no, no
Well, freedom never let me down
You never gave me a chance to learn
I guess we'll figure this out
I guess we'll figure it out
I think I'm out of control, I think I'm out of control

[Chorus]
I think I'm out of control, I think I'm out of control
A pretty boy state of mind only got me alone
I think I'm out of control, I think I'm out of control
I fancy falling apart before I'm falling in love
I think I'm out of control, I think I'm out of control
A pretty boy state of mind only got me alone
I think I'm out of control, I think I'm out of control
I fancy falling apart before I'm falling in love

[Post-Chorus]
We only started, we only started too late
Now we're parting our ways to be one of a kind
I'll take you back if you're feeling alive
I'll take you back if you're feeling alive
Babe, I'm all you need to survive
I'll take you back if you're feeling alive
And all I gave you was a little advice
Oh, we gotta work this out
Babe I'm all you need to survive
I'll take you back if you're feeling alive
