[Verse 1]
Something's got a hold of me lately
No, I don’t know myself anymore
Feels like the walls are all closin' in
And the devil's knockin’ at my door, woah
Out of my mind, how many times did I tell you
I'm no good at bein' alone?
Yeah, it's taken a toll on me, tryin' my best to keep
From tearin' the skin off my bones, don't you know
[Chorus]
I lose control
When you're not next to me (When you’re not here with me)
I’m fallin' apart right in front of you, can’t you see?
I lose control
When you're not next to me, mhm
Yeah, you're breakin' my heart, baby
You make a mess of me
[Verse 2]
Problematic
Problem is I want your body like a fiend, like a bad habit
Bad habits hard to break when I’m with you
Yeah, I know I can do it on my own
But I want that real full-moon black magic and it takes two
Problematic
Problem is when I'm with you, I'm an addict
And I need some relief, my skin in your teeth
Can't see the forest through the trees
Got me down on my knees, darlin', please, oh

[Chorus]
I lose control
When you're not next to me (When you're not here with me)
I'm fallin' apart right in front of you, can't you see?
I lose control
When you're not next to me, mhm
Yeah, you're breakin' my heart, baby
You make a mess of me, yeah

[Chorus]
I lose control
When you're not here with me, mm
I'm fallin' apart right in front of you, can't you see?
I lose control
When you're not here with me, mhm
Yeah, you're breakin' my heart, baby
You make a mess of me
Something's got a hold of me lately
No, I don’t know myself anymore
Feels like the walls are all closin' in
And the devil's knockin’ at my door, woah

Meaning & Explanation
The song explores themes of losing control, dependency, and a destructive attraction to another person. The narrator is struggling with feelings of isolation, self-doubt ('I’m no good at bein' alone?'), and an overwhelming urge for connection that ultimately leads to chaos and emotional distress. The 'lose control' refrain represents the inability to resist this addictive pull, despite knowing its harmful effects.
