[Verse]
Don't you see the irony?
Or have you gotten habitual in your hypocrisy
That you're starting to see it as fact?
You think I'm too trusting, huh
Let people walk over my back
Beloved, taking strolls over my passive bones
Make my psyche bend then crack

[Pre-Chorus]
I know when you say it, you don't mean it
I know when you say it, you don't mean it, never mean it 'cause

[Chorus]
You don't love me, you just love control
You like me most when I do what ['bout-it?], I'm told
Can't stand up straight, shows too much spine
I'm not straying too far with his leash on my mind
No, you don't love me, you just love control

[Verse 2]
Aware of our dichotomy
And it makes you angry, want me horizontally
Scared I'll reach evеn 90 degrees
I will tantamount to iron
In your wake, therе's only fire
And my lungs are scorched and tired
You conspired with a lighter
[Chorus]
You don't love me, you just love control
You like me most when I do what ['bout-it?] I'm told
Can't stand up straight, shows too much spine
I'm not straying too far with his leash on my mind
No, you don't love me, you just love control

[Bridge]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You just love control
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

[Verse 3]
Nothing I do will be good enough for you
I don't think I'll ever be who you want me to
My choices are yours, gave you my voice and my eyes
Fist fight reflection hoping one day you’ll be mine

[Outro]
I know when you say it, you don't mean it
I know when you say it, you don't mean it, you don't mean it
I know when you say it, you don't mean it
