Manipulator

[Verse 1]
Bad night, I cried
On my way back to mine
I can't keep my thoughts in mine
I like my life
When I see it through your eyes
When the mask fits alright
No sleep for me
I stay up watching TV
Keeping my dreams out of reach
I want you close
Just not close enough to know
Where my thoughts tend to go

[Chorus]
I'll be whoever you want me to be
And I'll say all of your favorite things
I'll pick you up in the morning
Promise not to be boring
I'll be someone your parents can meet
And I'll kiss you in the back of the cab
Let you cry when you're holding my hand
And I'll remember your friends' names
Get gifts on your birthdays
But you'll never know who I am

[Verse 2]
One drink too much
Wondering if I said enough
To keep you from getting up
And oh well, it's hell, learning these lines by myself
Oh I hope that you'll never tell
Hooray, clichés, ten ways to light up her face
Soon as you walk through the door
And it's just the thought of all the love that I lost
Keeps me from trying again

[Chorus]
I'll be whoever you want me to be
And I'll say all of your favorite things
I'll pick you up in the morning
Promise not to be boring
I'll be someone your parents can meet
And I'll kiss you in the back of the cab
Let you cry when you're holding my hand
And I'll remember your friends' names
Get gifts on your birthdays
But you'll never know who I am

[Chorus 2]
I'll be whoever you want me to be
And I'll say all of your favorite things
And I'll give you all the blame
Who falls in love on the first date?
Oh you think you know who I am

[Outro]
And I'll give you all the blame
Who falls in love on the first date?
Oh you think you know who I am
