You cuff me to your endless manipulation,
Make me believe that I'm a devastation.
Blind me to the truths that I see,
Because its my fault that you fell in love with me.
You shut me out,
Fill me with endless doubt,
Tell me I shouldn't stay,
But blame me for stepping away.
You twist my words and invade my mind,
Ignore all depths of me you refuse to find.
Make me change who I am, lie after lie,
I could have stopped it couldn't I?
You tear open old wounds and judge my scars,
Leave me to bleed in the light of a million stars.
You drain my hope, leaving me no choice but to pray .
Who would blame you anyway?
You're tearing me down, yet nobody believes me.
Either way its my fault, that I let you deceive me.
All I wanted was a friend I could trust.
I would sacrifice it all if I must.
But it wasn't good enough for you.
I was a maze you couldn't find your way through,
So you made sure that no one else could get me.
You couldn't dare to set me free.
Instead you broke me apart,
Left nothing but a damaged heart.
Now there's nothing left of me,
Except what you manipulated me to be.
