Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the 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

Echo the hook

  • Yeah, you're breakin' my heart, baby
  • You make a mess of me
  • Problematic
  • Problem is I want your body like a fiend, like a bad habit
you'relosecontrol
