Lyrics[]
I'll never forget that feeling
When I watched you disappear
And you made me stop believing
I could fight away the fear
Now the smoke has cleared
And the end is near
It was my illusion
Like a broken dream I was incomplete
But your love was never the missing piece
I feel like I am dreaming again
I feel like I am seeing again
I feel like I am breathing again
I got it under control
I got it under control
I got it under control
All that's real is faded, like a car into the night
Like painkiller I take it
And I watch the world ignite
Now the smoke has cleared
And the end is near
It was my illusion.
Like a broken dream I was incomplete
But your love was never the missing piece
I feel like I am dreaming again
I feel like I am seeing again
I feel like I am breathing again
I got it under control
I got it under control
I got it under control
I got it under control
I got it under control
I got it under control
I got it under control
I got it under control
I got it under control
I feel like I am dreaming again
I feel like I am seeing again
I feel like I am breathing again
I got it under control
I got it under control
I got it under control
I got it under control
I got it under control
I got it under control
I got it under control
I got it under control
I got it under control
I got it under control
