Lost Control lyrics

I lost control with everybody that I used to know

I lost my home, and now I find myself out on the street

I lost my way while walking through a city I don't know

I lost my shoes while running from the nightmare in the snow

Met a friend, turned out to be the devil in disguise

Met a girl who stripped me of all reason with her lies

But I have to smile when meeting alcoholics of the street

'Cause now I know, it's not the way the world is supposed to be

But you don't understand me

It's not the way I used to be

But doesn't it seem so strange

It's me not you that's changed

Met a ghost of somebody I didn't recognize

Said hello, turned out to be a blessing in disguise

When he said "your soul is hanging from the bridges of a dream"

Turned around, I recognized the face and it was me

But I lost control

I lost control

I lost control

I lost control
