Manipulation
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Master of manipulation
Liquor mixed with separation
Let's not forget about sleep deprivation
Man, that's enough to make me batshit crazy
Never had a real opinion
I never truly understood your vision
You make me feel like I'm the fucking villain
Just 'cause I don't agree with your decisions
Got me thinking, what's real?
What's fake?
Who's hiding their face?
And who means what they say?
And where can I escape?
Gave each other space maybe too much
You would only take, I was your crutch
The ways you let me down
But I still wanted you around
Grab me by the waist, I would go weak
Make the same mistakes like it ain't shit
The ways you let me down
But I still wanted you around, boy
(Like it ain't shit
Master of manipulation)
Master of manipulation
Always twisting the communication
Can you taste the shame all on my lips?
Do I just want somebody I can fix?
But I thought you were a real one
Thought we were connected
All the time I spent with you, how could I not suspect it?
Never learnin' my lesson, no
Never learnin' my lesson
Got me thinking, what's real?
And what's fake?
And who's hiding' their face?
Who means what they say?
And where can I escape?
Gave each other space maybe too much
You would only take, I was your crutch
The ways you let me down
But I still wanted you around
Grab me by the waist, I would go weak
Make the same mistakes like it ain't shit
The ways you let me down
But I still wanted you around, boy
(Like it ain't shit
Master of manipulation)
