Manipulate

[Verse 1]
Was readin' all your poetry the other day
Thought I could know you better now another way
But now you got me thinkin' over what I read
Burnin' through my retinas, now you're in my head

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe you could bother someone else
Maybe you could find the strength
To smile and wish me well

[Chorus]
Maybe you should be alone ('Lone)
Find somebody else to call your home
Try to manipulate my heart and brain
But all you ever did was bring me pain
You really think it can't be you?
All your delusions you believe are true
Stretching forever into everything
But you don't wanna know this side of me
(Maybe you should—)

[Verse 2]
(You say you find your strength when you pick up your pen)
But you can't even tell the knife is in your hand
Stab me in the back and then you make demands (Say it's only you)
You say it's only you, I got another plan

[Pre-Chorus]
(Maybe you could torture someone else)
(Maybe I don't have the strength)
(To follow you to Hell)

[Chorus]
Maybe you should be alone ('Lone)
Find somebody else to call your home
Try to manipulate my heart and brain
But all you ever did was bring me pain
You really think it can't be you?
All your delusions you believe are true
Stretching forever into everything
But you don't wanna know this side of me
(Maybe you should—)

[Bridge]
(I'm sick of thinking that I'll believe your lies)
(Tired of pretending I don't see through your disguise)
So self-aware now yet you don't have a clue
That I'm on the outside and I'm looking in at you
(Maybe you should be a—)

[Chorus]
Maybe you should be alone ('Lone)
Find somebody else to call your home
Try to manipulate my heart and brain
But all you ever did was bring me pain
You really think it can't be you?
All your delusions you believe are true
Stretching forever into everything
But you don't wanna know this side of me
(Maybe you should—)

[Outro]
(So sick of thinking that I'll believe your lies)
(So sick of thinking that I'll believe your lies)
(So sick of thinking that I'll believe your lies)
(So sick of thinking that I'll believe your lies)
