Manipulator Lyrics by Jake Daws

Let Down

2022

(chorus)
Manipulator
Manipulator
You had your hold on me
Manipulator
Manipulator
Manipulator

(verse 1)
Said that you only lied for me
Lied for me
“Baby if you knew the truth it would hurt you”
“I only lied to protect you”
Now you’re trying to turn it all around
Like I’m to blame
I’m to blame


You never held me down like I wanted you
You never let me close like I wanted to

You said
That you’re only human
You were just stupid
You made a "simple mistake"

And I said
I’m sick of the excuses
You knew what you were doing
And now you’re tryina point it back on me
Fuck you

(chorus)
Manipulator
Manipulator
You had your hold on me
Manipulator
Manipulator
Manipulator

(verse 2)
I should’ve known
Right from the go
That youda sunk
Sunk this low
You’re a joke

I’m gonna bury you
With all the memories
That we had together
I don’t ever want to
See you again
Not even friends

I wish more than anything this had gone down differently
The love you showed to me
Was it even real

It will always be
A world mystery
What did you mean?
That you loved me?
Cause if you did you’d never let me leave

(chorus)
Manipulator
Manipulator
You had your hold on me
Manipulator
Manipulator
Manipulator
