Manipulator
Blessing a Curse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sorry for the angry kind of person I've been lately
But if you think That I'm a failure, you should be reminded
You're the reason I'm this way

I don't give a shit about the way you look at me now
Because I lose all respect every time you open your mouth
You said I'm good for nothing but I hope you realize
This is a broken family for which you cannot provide

This is the way I feel and if you disagree
Then you can get the fuck out of my face

For my entire life you fuckin held back
And made me wish I could vanish without a single trace

I wanna die
But not before I can live and see the day that you end up completely alone

Now the money's runnin out
And the only thing that you gave me was doubt so I won't say

I'm sorry for the angry kind of person That I've been lately
But if you think that I'm a failure
Than you should be reminded
You're the reason I'm this way
Whoa oh oh, oh no no no
I know I will be just fine
I don't need another manipulator in my life

Sometimes I struggle but I keep it all bottled up
Cuz the last time I let my guard down you let me fall like a
House of cards
And ever since I've been picking myself back up off the ground

But I'm tired of running and hiding every time life gets too hard
And I'm tired of constantly hearing you don't believe I'll make it all that far

I will live to see the day that you end up completely alone
Now the money's out but I know there's hope for me despite all your doubts

I'm sorry for the angry kind of person that I've been lately
But if you that I'm a failure you should be reminded
You're the reason I'm this way
Whoa oh oh, oh no no no
I know I'll be just fine
I don't need another manipulator in my life

You've been putting words in my mouth ever since I could talk
You've been making me crawl even when I could walk

I'm not sorry
I'm not sorry at all

I'm sorry for the angry kind of person that I've been lately
But if you think that I'm a failure you should be reminded
You're the reason I'm this way
Whoa oh oh, oh no no no
I know I'll be just fine
I don't need another manipulator in my life





I'm not sorry

I love this song so much, I relate my brother tried to manipulate me so I do nothing he doesnt like. I wanna see the day he ends up alone and he calls me a failure. Thanks this inspires me to stop taking his shit also the song itself is just so good!

Tempting Winner

Amazing!!! That is all...

_ d'arcy

Awesome but I think that sometimes the vocals were hard to pick out from the music itself. If the vocals were slightly louder it would be perfect
Good job guys
