If you know what buttons to press.
If you know me that well....
There is great responsibility with great power.
Mark my words.
If you indeed know exactly what to say to bring me down or lift me up.
And you choose to tear me apart?!
I have every right to weep you from a distance!
Mark my words, however....
If you certainly know exactly what to do to bring me up, or push me down.
And you choose to build me together?!
Heaven will bow down to lift you up, and I will rejoice whether I have the right to or not!

Everyone is a manipulator, some are good, and others evil.
A smile manipulates others into dropping their guard and perceiving joy.
If you smile honestly, you can save suicidal lost causes.
If you smile deceptively you can deprive the even the noblest cause of it's oxygen.
