That’s how it is this life you live, you’re in damage control
You’re losing sleep, you’re in too deep, always in damage control
Last night you told me your plans
But you weren’t where you said that you would be
When you explain, you don’t look me in the eye
You think you can a fool of me
Telling tales to cover lies always takes a toll
Your face is red, but your heart is cold, you’re in damage control
Your talking points are getting old, you’re in damage control
Somebody saw you last night, raising hell and feeling no pain
On the arm of a man that I asked you about
You said you didn’t recognize the name
Half-truths and alibis, baby that’s how you roll
You can’t return the trust you stole with damage control
The price is high when you sell your soul, that’s damage control
(Do the crime, gotta do the time) Now you can’t run
(Do the crime, gotta do the time) Oh you can’t hide, no
You think what happens in the dark won’t ever see the light of day
Turn down the heat, turn up the charm, just make it go away
That’s how it is this life you live, always in damage control
You’re losing sleep and you’re in too deep, you’re in damage control
Oh yeah, you know you’re in damage control
You can’t run and you sure can’t hide, in damage control
The truth is there for all to see, the truth is gonna set me free
Oh, the truth is there for all to see, the truth is gonna set me free
