Losing Control

At first they were afraid, they were petrified,
Kept thinking they could never live without you by their side
But then they spent so many nights thinking how you did them wrong,
And they grew strong, and they learned how to get along.

And so you're back from outer space.
They just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
They should have changed that stupid lock
They should have made you leave your key
If they had known for just one second you'd be back to bother them

Go on now, go. Walk out the door
Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt them with goodbye?
Did you think they'd crumble?
Did you think they'd lay down and die?

Oh, no, not them!
They will survive.
Oh, as long as they know how to love they know they'll stay alive.
They've got all their life to live.
They've got all their love to give.
And They'll survive,
They will survive, hey, hey.

It took all the strength they had not to fall apart.
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of their broken heart.
And they spent, oh, so many nights just feeling sorry for themselves.
They used to cry but now they hold their head up high.

And you see them and they're new.
They're not that chained-up little group still in love with you.
And so you felt like dropping in,
And just expect them to be free.
And now they're saving all their loving for someone who's loving them.
