Manipulation
Beartooth Lyrics

I hesitated, got lost again
I didn't know what to do and I got confused

You saw me as wounded prey
You viewed me as weak and vulnerable

I was a wreck, I was a bloody mess
I was in a terrible state and hurting

And you couldn't look away
But you couldn't help but continue to watch and take advantage of me

You broke me down
You deliberately caused me pain and suffering

So you could take me out
In order to control and manipulate me completely

This is isolation
Being cut off from the world and left alone

Kept in the dark and waiting
Being kept in the unknown and waiting for something to happen

You're wearing the crown of kingdoms I created
You are taking credit for something you didn't do and claiming ownership of it

Now I can't escape it
I'm trapped and I can't get away from this situation

All of the light is fading
Everything good is disappearing

This isn't trust
This isn't a relationship built on mutual respect and honesty

This is manipulation!
This is a situation where one person is purposely controlling another person for their own benefit

I didn't say what you wanna hear
I didn't agree with you or go along with what you were saying

And your lips began to curl
You started to show anger and contempt towards me

I'm pushing back and now you start acting
When I finally stand up to you, you start to behave unkindly

Like you gave me the world
After all you've put me through, you still believe you've done nothing wrong

I don't need, I don't need, I don't need you
I don't rely on you and I don't want you around

I don't believe, don't believe, don't believe you
I don't trust you or have faith in anything you say

You've got hell to pay
There will be consequences for the harm you've caused me

You'll get what's coming to you
You will face the repercussions of your actions

This is manipulation!
Emphasizing again that this is a situation of manipulation and control
