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 really 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 go weak
Make the same mistake like it ain't shit
The ways you let me down
But I still wanted you around
Like I hear you say
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't 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?
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 go weak
Make the same mistake like it ain't shit
The ways you let me down
But I still wanted you around
Like I hear you say
