Lyrics to Almost Full Control

[Verse 1]

Why does she wait?

When he's turning her away

She thought she was out of the woods

But he led her heart astray

“It's a cancer,” she said

“And it's killing both of us”

All these tears just turn those gears to rust



[Verse 2]

He can hardly bear

The thought of her elsewhere

Passion overfed is a monster

Pulling out its hair

“I can't believe I spent my youth like this”, she thought

Weary from the wars she wished she'd never fought

Bleary-eyed and distraught



[Bridge]

All love ends up with someone feeling so alone

She leaves behind breadcrumbs that are the size of loaves



[Verse 3]

She says it isn't in the cards

Tweety birds and little stars

Surround his head like a crown of thorns

He made his bed to lie in it without her
