I've been longing for a better life
But it's cold outside
Should have been honest right from the start
But instead, I lied
And I cry
'Cause I know
Mistreatment has taken its toll
I get high
I get low
In the end there's only damage control
Want to thank you, dear, for pointing out
That I'm dead inside
Wiped away my belief in me
Yeah, you wrung it dry
I do die
My poor soul
Each time that I wake up with you
I get high
I get low
'Cause in the end all you want is control
But in the morning, I'll be fine again
Repeating the lie to myself
Awake to find the nightmare has no end
Better the devil you know
Digging deep for the strength to leave
But it's cold outside
If this is love, then it's not for me
Yeah, I guess I'll hide
I do hide
When I cry
Fear you'll reach out to tighten your hold
I get high
'Cause I know
It's not love, it's only damage control
It's only damage control
It's only damage control
It's only damage control
