Taking Control

Love was another way to say that I'll carry you
Whatever you wanna do, turn me left or turn me right
Only daring to speak up in order to safely regurgitate opinions I heard
Mentality turned on me, now I can barely remember my name

I hope you don't mind
I'm taking it another direction, yeah
Another direction, yeah
I've been taking my time
Now I’m taking control, can I be me again?

I've been the poster child, yeah, for waiting on a change
Yeah, I paid more attention to what was mentioned about me
Than what I said up in my head
Time to be on my own side even if you think I am going insane

I hope you don't mind
I'm taking control of the skin I'm swimming in
I've been taking my time
Now I'm taking control, can I be me again?

I hope you don’t mind
I'm taking control of the skin I'm swimming in
I hope you don't mind
I'm taking it another direction, yeah
Another direction, yeah
I've been taking my time
Now I'm taking control, can I be me again?
