Zevia Manipulation Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've never met a boy who likes me for me
Guess that I'm stupid for not letting him see
It's always about you and never about me
Told you that I'm insecure but you don't care to think

[Pre-Chorus]
So let me just take off all my clothes
Even if I'm uncomfortable
'Cause I feel like you won't love me if I don't
And let me just show you who I am
Even if that's not what I planned
'Cause you know that I can't let you go

[Chorus]
Or maybe if you knew how I felt
We wouldn't be stuck in this dilemma
They say things will get better
But now it feels like never
And maybe if you knew what you did
You'd realize you tore my world apart
You knew just how you used me
You played me from the start

[Verse 2]
I've never had the strength to tell you to stop Or maybe if I did, you'd realize I'm not
Just someone you can use, boy, how would you know?
'Cause you know that you're selfish, no shame to let it show
[Pre-Chorus]
So let me just take off all my clothes
Even if I'm uncomfortable
'Cause I feel like you won't love me if I don't
And let me just show you who I am
Even if that's not what I planned
'Cause you know that I can't let you go

[Chorus]
Or maybe if you knew how I felt
We wouldn't be stuck in this dilemma
They say things will get better
But now it feels like never
And maybe if you knew what you did
You'd realize you tore my world apart
You knew just how you used me
You played me from the start

[Outro]
Hmm-mm (However)
Hmm-mm (Knew what you did)
Hmm-mm (However)
(Knew what you did)
