Under Control Lyrics

I'll never forget that feeling
When I watched you disappear
When you made me stop believing
I could fight away the fear

Now the smoke has cleared
And the end is near
It was my illusion
Like a broken dream
I was incomplete
But your love was never missing

I feel like I'm breathing again
I feel like I'm seeing again
I feel like I'm breathing again
I got it under control, oh, oh
I got it under control, oh, oh
I got it under control, oh, oh

Now all that's real is faded
Like a car into the night
Like a painkiller, I take it
And I watch the world ignite

Now the smoke has cleared
And the end is near
It was my illusion
Like a broken dream
I was incomplete
But your love was never missing

I feel like I'm breathing again
I feel like I'm seeing again
I feel like I'm breathing again
I got it under control, oh, oh
I got it under control, oh, oh
I got it under control, oh, oh
I got it under control, oh, oh

I got it under control
I got it under control

I got it under control, oh, oh
I got it under control, oh, oh
I got it under control, oh, oh

I feel like I'm breathing again
I feel like I'm seeing again
I feel like I'm breathing again
I got it under control, oh, oh
I got it under control, oh, oh
I got it under control, oh, oh
I got it under control, oh, oh
I got it under control, oh, oh
I got it under control, oh, oh
I got it under control, oh, oh
I got it under control, oh, oh

I got it under control
I got it under control
