Anger's got a hold on me
Its had its way, but it suffocating
I'm being dragged down by my own sin
Turning to ruins from within
I've tried so hard but it won't let go
How did I lose all my self-control?
It's somehow mended to who I am
It's so powerful, everything else is jammed
Give me a little bit, little bit
Little bit of elbow room
Give me a little bit, little bit
Little bit of elbow room
The sky won't fall, your heart won't quit
Let me be selfish a bit
Give me a little bit, little bit
Little bit of elbow room
The embers seem to turn to flames
Doesn't take much to cast the blame
Restless from the screaming voice
It makes it seem like I've got no choice
I've tried so hard but it won't let go
How did I lose all my self-control?
I can be angry and not sin
But the terrible thoughts still creep in
Give me a little bit, little bit
Little bit of elbow room
Give me a little bit, little bit
Little bit of elbow room
The sky won't fall, your heart won't quit
Let me be selfish a bit
Give me a little bit, little bit
Little bit of elbow room
I'm just a shadow passing through you
The clouds following close behind me
Don't speak or I might snap like a cynic
Every smile my way returned with a grimace
I've tried so hard but it won't let go
How did I lose all my self-control?
Am I so angry because I suppress it beneath happiness,
Or is there something big I'm missing through my busyness?
Give me a little bit, little bit
Little bit of elbow room
Give me a little bit, little bit
Little bit of elbow room
The sky won't fall, your heart won't quit
Let me be selfish a bit
Give me a little bit, little bit
Little bit of elbow room
