Manipulated
Everything was perfect
Or was it?
I'm noticing the cracks in our façade
Your pretty lies I bought
I kept on ignoring
The warnings
The artificial happiness took hold
'Til I gave up control
I gave up control
Looking back now
I was so manipulated
I don't know how
(I don't know how)
I settled for the scraps you gave me
You've got a lot of nerve
Acting like you are just as hurt
As me
I was always quick to
Defend you
Inventing an excuse for every flaw
'Cause I thought that was love
When I said I was done with
Your bullshit
You told me you're the best that I can do
But you won't face the truth
You won't face the truth
Looking back now
I was so manipulated
I don't know how
(I don't know how)
I settled for the scraps you gave me
You've got a lot of nerve
(you've got a lot of nerve)
Acting like you are just as hurt
As me
(Ooooh)
Do you ever stop and think
Maybe the best part of you was me
Maybe the best part of you was me
(Ooooh)
Looking back now
I was so manipulated
I don't know how
(I don't know how)
I settled for the scraps you gave me
You've got a lot of nerve
(you've got a lot of nerve)
Acting like you are just as hurt
As me
Do you ever stop and think
Maybe the best part of you was me
Maybe the best part of you was me
Or was it?
I'm noticing the cracks in our façade
Your pretty lies I bought
I kept on ignoring
The warnings
The artificial happiness took hold
'Til I gave up control
I gave up control
Looking back now
I was so manipulated
I don't know how
(I don't know how)
I settled for the scraps you gave me
You've got a lot of nerve
Acting like you are just as hurt
As me
I was always quick to
Defend you
Inventing an excuse for every flaw
'Cause I thought that was love
When I said I was done with
Your bullshit
You told me you're the best that I can do
But you won't face the truth
You won't face the truth
Looking back now
I was so manipulated
I don't know how
(I don't know how)
I settled for the scraps you gave me
You've got a lot of nerve
(you've got a lot of nerve)
Acting like you are just as hurt
As me
(Ooooh)
Do you ever stop and think
Maybe the best part of you was me
Maybe the best part of you was me
(Ooooh)
Looking back now
I was so manipulated
I don't know how
(I don't know how)
I settled for the scraps you gave me
You've got a lot of nerve
(you've got a lot of nerve)
Acting like you are just as hurt
As me
Do you ever stop and think
Maybe the best part of you was me
Maybe the best part of you was me
