X Ambassadors – RULE lyrics

[Verse 1]
And I can't get a grip, no, no, no, no, no
Feeling like I'm always losing control against
Nobody leaves this game alive
Please, babe, I beg you, don't fuck with me
Fractured my soul in a million pieces
But nobody breaks me a second time

[Pre-Chorus]
I swear I had no idea

[Chorus]
How can I love you if I can't lose you?
If I can't learn to glow again?
How can I love you if I can't rule you?
How can I learn to let you in?

[Post-Chorus]
Rule over me
Rule over me
I'm yours, faithfully
Rule over me
Rule over me
Rule over me
I'm down on my knees
Rule over me
Rule over me
