  • Your back's against the wall
    There's no-one home to call
    You're forgetting who you are
    You can't stop crying
    It's part not giving in
    And part trusting your friends
    You do it all again
    And I'm not lying

    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
    Oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

    Standing in the way of control
    You live your life
    Survive the only way that you know

    I'm doing this for you
    Because it's easier to lose
    And it's hard to face the truth
    When you think you're dying
    It's part not giving in
    And part trusting your friends
    You do it all again
    But you don't stop trying

    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
    Oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

    [x4]
    Because Standing in the way of control
    You live your life

    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
    Oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

    Standing in the way of control
    We live our lives
    Because we're standing in the way of control
    We will live our lives
    Because we're standing in the way of control
    We live our lives
    Because we're standing in the way of control
    We will live our lives

    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

    Your back's against the wall
    There's no-one home to call
    You're forgetting who you are
    You can't stop crying
    It's part not giving in
    And part trusting your friends
    You do it all again
    You don't stop trying

    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
    Oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

    Standing in the way of control
    Survive the only way that you know Writer/s: HANNAH BLILIE, MARY BETH PATTERSON, NATHAN HOWDESHELL
