[Intro]

This is manipulation

Yeah

[Verse 1]

I hesitated, got lost again

You saw me as wounded prey

I was a wreck, I was a bloody mess

And you couldn't look away

[Pre-Chorus]

You broke me down

So you could take me out

[Chorus]

This is isolation, kept in the dark and waiting

You're wearing the crown of kingdoms I created

Now I can't escape it, all of the light is fading

This isn't trust, this is manipulation

[Verse 2]

I didn't say what you wanna hear

And your lips began to curl

I'm pushing back and now you start acting

Like you gave me the world

[Pre-Chorus]

You broke me down

So you could take me out

[Chorus]

This is isolation, kept in the dark and waiting

You're wearing the crown of kingdoms I created

Now I can't escape it, all of the light is fading

This isn't trust, this is manipulation

[Bridge]

I don't need, I don't need, I don't need you

This isn't trust, this is manipulation

I don't believe, don't believe, don't believe you

This isn't trust, this is manipulation

[Breakdown]

You've got hell to pay

You'll get what's coming to you

[Chorus]

This is isolation, kept in the dark and waiting

You're wearing the crown of kingdoms I created

Now I can't escape it, all of the light is fading

This isn't trust, this is manipulation

[Outro]

I don't need, I don't need, I don't need you

This isn't trust, this is manipulation

I don't believe, don't believe, don't believe you

This isn't trust, this is manipulation

This is manipulation, this is manipulation
