Manipulate Lyrics by Phil Hancock

2019

[Verse 1]
If I’ve got nothing without you, yeah nothing
Then why don’t I feel that different
And if I stand here bare naked
Then why does it feel nothing’s missin’
I felt right for you in all the wrong places
I got stuck living out your mistakes but
If I end up with nothing
Then nothing is fine with me
[Chorus]
You tried to take me
Away from everything that felt like winning
You tried to make me
A stranger to anyone else I ever let in
Don’t be clever
I ain’t playing those games
Yeah I see the way out, And I’m not
Someone you can easily manipulate
[Verse 2]
You’ve got nothing without me, yeah nothing
But you can’t even tell the difference
Coz if it’s not making you famous
Then you don’t even take an interest
You prefer gambling with all my demons
You get high off all of the scheming
And if you end up with nothing
Then nothing is fine with me
[Chorus]
You tried to take me
Away from everything that felt like winning
You tried to make me
A stranger to anyone else I ever let in
Don’t be clever
I ain’t playing those games
Yeah I see the way out, And I’m not
Someone you can easily manipulate
[Bridge]
Uh ohhh, uh ohhh
You easily manipulate
Uh ohhh, uh ohhh
And oh it’s a sacrifice I’ll be willing to make
To get myself away from all this crazy, no
To walk away I’ll never be the same
But it’ll make a damn good change
[Chorus]
You tried to take me
Away from everything that felt like winning
You tried to make me
A stranger to anyone else I ever let in
Don’t be clever
I ain’t playing those games
Yeah I see the way out, And I’m not
Someone you can easily manipulate
