From the recording Wounded
Lyrics
Let fate take its' course, or that's what they say
Don't try to control it or stand in its' way
A puppet on strings what's my role in this play
Don't try to control it; let the cards fall where they may
When I was a child, I wanted to think
(That) control was my own, and it's up to me
As I've gone on, I've opened my eyes
(That) you can't control people, you can't control life
I can't let go or loosen the grip
I'm my own master, a fool on an ego trip
You can't control people, you can't control love
Nothing more I can do, nothing I can think of
When I was a child, I wanted to think
(That) control was my own, and it's up to me
As I've gone on, I've opened my eyes
(That) You can't control people, you can't control life
If it's meant to be then it's up to me
Or if it's meant to be then it's meant to be
Someone please give me the answers
Someone explain this to me
If it's meant to be then it's up to me
Or if it's meant to be then it's meant to be
Why does it feel like I'm losing
And why is it happening to me
I'm locked inside this fate
I'm locked inside this fate
I cannot see
I can't break free
Why are these demons haunting me
I am not here
I am aware
There's emptiness in everywhere
Inside
Inside
Inside
If it's meant to be then it's up to me
Or if it's meant to be then it's meant to be
Someone please give me the answers
Someone explain this to me
If it's meant to be, it's up to me
Or if it's meant to be then it's meant to be
Why does it feel like I'm losing
And why is it happening to me
Just go with the flow and go with your soul
Just let the bird fly and let the girl go
You can't change her feelings, only yourself
Accept that she's turned into somebody else
When I was a child I wanted to think
(That) control was my own and it's up to me
As I've gone on I've opened my eyes
(That) you can't control people, you can't control life
