Lose Control Lyrics

[Verse 1] Something's got a hold of me lately No, I don’t know myself anymore Feels like the walls are all closin' in And the devil's knockin’ at my door, woah Out of my mind, how many times did I tell you I'm no good at bein' alone? Yeah, it's taken a toll on me, tryin' my best to keep From tearin' the skin off my bones, don't you know [Chorus] I lose control When you're not next to me (When you’re not here with me) I’m fallin' apart right in front of you, can’t you see? I lose control When you're not next to me, mhm Yeah, you're breakin' my heart, baby You make a mess of me [Verse 2] Problematic Problem is I want your body like a fiend, like a bad habit Bad habits hard to break when I’m with you Yeah, I know I can do it on my own But I want that real full-moon black magic and it takes two Problematic Problem is when I'm with you, I'm an addict And I need some relief, my skin in your teeth Can't see the forest through the trees Got me down on my knees, darlin', please, oh See Teddy Swims Live Get tickets as low as $60 You might also like dont let me go mgk don’t wanna break up again Ariana Grande TEXAS HOLD ’EM Beyoncé [Chorus] I lose control When you're not next to me (When you're not here with me) I'm fallin' apart right in front of you, can't you see?

Meaning of Lose Control

The song explores themes of losing control, dependency, and a destructive attraction to another person. The narrator is struggling with feelings of isolation, self-doubt ('I’m no good at bein' alone?'), and an overwhelming urge for connection that ultimately leads to chaos and emotional distress. The 'lose control' refrain represents the inability to resist this addictive pull, despite knowing its harmful effects.
