Gaslighting McQueen

Can I blame the ignorance or were you just playing dumb?
Am I any better than you by writing you this song?
We were made to be more than this
But I'm too close the edge
And too far from bliss

If I try to find the perfect words to say
I won't say anything at all

Go through the motions to salve your own guilt
I wouldn't wish you upon yourself
Memorize this
I won't be your slave anymore
Say what you want to get yourself through
But no one's listening to you
Memorize this
I won't be your slave anymore

The fact that you won't get me covered up speaks volumes to what you think you did
We remember differently
You've overdosed on
Playing the victim
Self medicated with selfish intentions

If I try to find the perfect words to say, I won't say anything at all
Now that I have found the perfect words to say, they don't mean anything at all

Go through the motions to salve your own guilt
I wouldn't wish you upon yourself
Memorize this
I won't be your slave anymore
Say what you want to get yourself through
But no one's listening to you
Memorize this
I won't be your slave anymore

So lie to me once again
Hide behind smoke and mirrors
Where does dishonesty end
And when will the truth begin
Lie to me once again

Go through the motions to salve your own guilt
I wouldn't wish you upon yourself
Memorize this
I won't be your slave anymore
Say what you want to get yourself through
But no one's listening to you
Memorize this
I won't be your slave anymore
