I Can't Control Everything

Overstressed and never satisfied
That’ll wear you out
I want to control every little thing
And change everything about myself
I say I’ll stop, and put on a mask
And hope it’ll sink in sometime
That no matter how hard you force them
Words can’t always rhyme
I can blend in with everybody else
And act like I am strong
But what would be the point
If you’re just going to prove me wrong?
If you keep saying everyday
You’ll make it happen someday
If you just keep on waiting
Well, soon it’ll be too late
And if before when they told me
Love is all you’ll ever need
Was it them, or was it you
Who just used me for your game?
You can try all you want
To understand what a song means
But if you’ve never been in that place before
How can you feel its sting?
Don’t tell me you’re a writer
When you use someone else’s words
Because I’ve been disappointed
More times than I’ve deserved
