Lori McKenna — Swallows Me Whole lyrics

Lyrics

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
