I paint the walls a perfect color
Then you go and tear them down
My garden of love blooms with all its wonder
Then you go and dig it out
Well what can I say, you keep bringing the gray
And you're making it hard to see clear
It's been dull for so long and I'm ready for sun
You are no longer welcome here
You can't love what you can't control
And I can't believe that you did it again
Counting down the minutes til I finally let you know
You can't love what you can't control
Now I'm building these walls just to keep you away
Then you go and tear them down
Well what can I say, you keep bringing the gray
And I don't want you around
You can't love what you can't control
And I can't believe that you did it again
Counting down the minutes til I finally let you know
You can't love what you can't control
And you know I'm letting you go
And I can't believe that you did it again
Counting down the minutes til I finally let you know
You can't love what you can't control
Well the grass was greener on the other side, it's true
Well there's just no more room for me and you
[Chorus]
