You Never Had Control

from Running In Sunlight by Sandtimer

/

lyrics

When you wake up to the sound of heavy rain
and the bad news runs into you like a train
and you look back with regret as it continues to roll
but just remember that you never had control

When you pin all of your hopes onto a kite
watch it sail beyond the heights that you could climb
then thunder claps and lightning rips it apart
but you had no way to know this from the start

And it’s so sad to watch your wishes for the world
sacrificed by those who you put faith in
mocked and cast in rust by those you used to trust -
just one voice, and they cannot hear what you’re saying

Sitting, wondering how it happened all again
you feel you didn’t do enough to help
while they cash in all their promises, stolen and sold
just remember that you never had control

And it’s so sad to watch your wishes for the world
sacrificed by those who you put faith in
mocked and cast in rust by those you used to trust -
just one voice, and they cannot hear what you’re saying
