There was a time when being in control became my way of doing things. I thought understanding someone meant knowing how to control them, too. ‎ I believed I knew the rules of love. I could read people's behavior, anticipate their reactions, and with enough experience, I was convinced I could hold anyone's heart in my hands. ‎ But eventually, I began to understand that knowing something and being in control of it are two very different things. Even knowing every rule means nothing when those rules don't apply. ‎ And that's exactly what happened with my empath. None of my rules worked, simply because I'd never met anyone like him before. I thought I recognized things I'd seen in other people, without realizing I had nothing to compare him to. ‎ I wanted my voice to reflect that realization. At first, it's bold, confident, almost commanding. But as the song unfolds, it moves closer to the mic, becoming more intimate and hesitant. The certainty is still there, but little by little, it starts sounding more like I'm trying to convince myself. ‎ Now I understand that I never really held his heart in my hands. I had simply mistaken his freedom to love me for my power to make him stay. ‎ [VERSE] I command the dance of the tides I know how to bend the winds my way One smile is enough to bring them back I've never needed chains to make them stay ‎ [CHORUS] I know just what to do My heart has seen a thing or two Love is my game And I'm in the Hall of Fame ‎ [VERSE] I know the dance of the tides I know how to read the winds that blow One smile should be enough to bring them back Sometimes you have to tighten the reins ‎ [CHORUS] I know just what to do My heart has seen a thing or two Love is my game And I'm in the Hall of Fame ‎ [VERSE] I know the dance of these tides I know these winds, I know what to do One smile is enough, it always has been I know how to hold their reins ‎ [PRE-CHORUS] I've never needed chains Just knowing who they belong to ‎ [CHORUS] I know just what to do My heart has seen a thing or two Love is my game And I'm in the Hall of Fame I know just what to do I think you're rolling in the deep I know just what to do I think I had your heart inside my hands I know just what to do My heart has seen a thing or two Love is my game And I'm in the Hall of Famemore
