Manipulate

[Verse 1]
Finally let go
Finally lost the hold you had on me
But you never seemed to care till I was gone
You'd cuss me out all night and start picking fights
Then turn around and blame me for the misery in your life

[Chorus]
So you can scream my name to the mountains above you
To the river below and the trees that surround you
But that won't ever change the kind of man that you made
Me become because of your selfish ways
You pushed me away, now you're begging me to stay
Why was I so damn easy to manipulate?

[Verse 2]
You told me I was never there
That I only cared about myself
But I killed myself just to be your perfect man
You say that thought of me brings shame
But honey, you're the one to blame
You took every good damn part of me
And you poured it down the drain

[Chorus]
So you can scream my name to the mountains above you
To the river below and the trees that surround you
But that won't ever change the kind of man that you made
Me become because of your selfish ways
You pushed me away, now you're begging me to stay
Why was I so damn easy to manipulate?

[Bridge]
So don't you go saying I'm the one that did you wrong
Just 'cause you're the one that can't seem to move on

[Chorus]
So you can scream my name to the mountains above you
To the river below and the trees that surround you
But that won't ever change the kind of man that you made
Me become because of your selfish ways
You pushed me away, now you're begging me to stay
Why was I so damn easy to manipulate?
