Lyrics

Control

[Verse 1]

You said I wouldn't survive without your controlling, controlling

I can't stop reliving your lies 'cause I took them all in, all in

[Pre-Chorus]

How can you say that you care?

Leave me in pain with nothing left falling, I'm falling

Yeah it came out of nowhere, most nights alone in my head bawling

I was bawling

[Chorus]

Now it's me in control, it's you on your own

How dare I? You can't deny I'm proving you wrong

It won't go unnoticed, it won't go unknown

How dare I? You can't deny I'm proving you wrong

[Verse 2]

You said I wouldn't survive and I'd just fade slowly, slowly

But I've never felt more alive now you don't own me, own me

[Pre-Chorus]

Left me in chains, both hands tied

How do you even sleep at night, knowing, just knowing

[Chorus]

Now it's me in control, it's you on your own

How dare I? You can't deny I'm proving you wrong

It won't go unnoticed, it won't go unknown

How dare I? You can't deny I'm proving you wrong

[Bridge]

There's no point in lying now

'Cause everyone knows

There's no place to hide it out

[Chorus]

Now it's me in control, it's you on your own

How dare I? You can't deny I'm proving you wrong

It won't go unnoticed, it won't go unknown

How dare I? You can't deny I'm proving you wrong

It's me in control, it's you on your own

How dare I? You can't deny I'm proving you wrong

Now it's me in control

How dare I? You can't deny I'm proving you wrong

    Déyyess: More than a crush

    From playing football in the garden to fantasising about kissing strangers, alt-pop rising star Déyyess is turning queer yearning into glittering, gut-punch pop. And she's only just getting started.
