Lyrics: Lori McKenna. Swallows Me Whole.

You say you think you can help me
Think of me as someone who bleeds
Well, I never told you to love me
That's your sort of greed

I can make my own decisions
I can do what I want to do
And I don't have to share my addiction
With any of you

And I'll be just fine, out of my mind
I like it this way, I know when to pray
And I'm in control till it swallows me whole

I know you'd like to control me
You always need to be right
Because I'm late once or twice
Lose a job or stay out all night

But I can see high above it
The world is a boundary for you
And I know that you'd like
To see through it the way that I do

I'll be just fine out of my mind
I like this it this way, I know when to pray
And I don't need any until I need more
I said I was sorry a hundred times before
And I'm in control until it swallows me whole

You say that you have to leave now
You can't stand the things that I do
And you know that I'll need this more
Than I'll ever need you

And I'll be just fine, out of my mind
I like this it this way, I know when to pray
And I don't need any until I need more
And I don't need any until I need more
And I don't need any until I need more

And I'm in control
Till it swallows me whole
Till it swallows me whole
Swallows me whole
