Lori Mckenna Swallows Me Whole Lyrics

Swallows Me Whole Lyrics

You say you think you can help me 

Think of me as someone who bleeds 

Well I never told you to love me

That's your sort of greed 

I can make my own decisions 

I can do what I want to do 

And I don't have to share my addiction 

With any of you 



I'll be just fine out of my mind

I like it this way, I know when to pray

I'm in control till it swallows me whole 



I know you'd like to control me 

You always need to be right 

Because I'm late once or twice

Lose a job or stay out all night 

But I can see high above it 

The world is a boundary for you 

And I know that you'd like to see through it 

The way that I do 



I'll be just fine out of my mind

I like this it this way, I know when to pray

And I don't need any until I need more

I said I was sorry a hundred times before

And I'm in control till it swallows me whole 



Well you say that you have to leave now 

You can't stand the things that I do 

And you know that I'll need this more 

Than I'll ever need you 



I'll be just fine out of my mind

I like this it this way I know when to pray

And I don't need any until I need more

And I don't need any until I need more

And I don't need any until I need more

And I'm in control 

Till it swallows me whole 

Till it swallows me whole 

Swallows me whole
