Pages and pages of break up in front of me
Explaining the reasons why we could not be friends
I try to hit back but my heart attack hit me first
The doctors they say I’m yet to feel the worst
But most of our friends say to leave it alone
Phrases like what don’t kill you will just make you strong
They’re all full of shit
And they don’t believe it
You control them like you control this song

You can call me foolish
But I thought we’d share our lives
Have babies and laugh when we’d get fat and eventually die
I’d work with your dad yeah I thought you’d be glad we were rich
Then when I’d get home I’d strip down and grant you your wish
Cos most of our friends say to leave it alone
Phrases like what don’t kill you will just make you strong
They’re all full of shit
And they don’t believe it
You control them like you control this song

I’d even breathe when you tell me to breathe
Thought you were joking when you asked me to leave
Was always willing to make a sacrifice
So tell me woman, what should I do with my life
Cos most of our friends say to leave it alone
Phrases like what don’t kill you will just make you strong
They’re all full of shit
And I don’t believe it
You control them like you control this song
You control them like you control this song
