I Take Control

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You had the map, you picked the turns I kept my hands where you could see Now every little rule you wrote Is just a page I’m leaving free [Pre-Chorus] I know the weight of every word I know the cost of playing nice I’m done waiting for a green light I can choose my own advice [Chorus] I take control, I set the pace I say the yes, I name the no You don’t get to move my line I take control, I take it home My hands, my heart, my own decision No more asking for permission I take control, I take control [Verse 2] Your little crown was paper-thin It never fit me anyway I found my voice beneath the noise And now it has a lot to say [Pre-Chorus] I know the weight of every word I know the cost of playing nice I’m done waiting for a green light I can choose my own advice [Chorus] I take control, I set the pace I say the yes, I name the no You don’t get to move my line I take control, I take it home My hands, my heart, my own decision No more asking for permission I take control, I take control [Bridge] No borrowed keys, no second guess No shrinking down to make you tall I’m not a guest inside my life I hold the door, I own it all [Final Chorus] I take control, I set the pace I say the yes, I name the no You don’t get to move my line I take control, I take it home My hands, my heart, my own decision No more asking for permission I take control, I take control [Outro] My hands, my heart I take control
