Manipulator

(álbum: Get Well Soon - 2023)

Bad night, I cried
On the way back to mine
I can't keep my thoughts in line

I like my life
When I see it through your eyes
When the mask fits alright

No sleep for me
I stay up watching TV
Keeping my dreams out of reach

And I want you close
Just not close enough to know
Where my thoughts tend to go

I'll be whoever you want me to be
And I'll say all of your favorite things
I'll pick you up in the morning
Promise not to be boring
I'll be someone your parents can meet

And I'll kiss you in the back of the cab
Let you cry when you're holding my hand
And I'll remember your friend's names
Get gifts on your birthday
But you'll never know who I am

One drink too much
Wondering if I've said enough
To keep you from getting up

And oh well it's hell
Learning these lines by myself
Oh I hope you'll never tell

Hooray, cliches
10 ways to light up her face
Soon as she walks through the door

It's just the thought
Of all the love that I lost
Keeps me from trying again

I'll be whoever you want me to be
And I'll say all of your favorite things
I'll pick you up in the morning
Promise not to be boring
I'll be someone your parents can meet

And I'll kiss you in the back of the cab
Let you cry when you're holding my hand
And I'll remember your friend's names
Get gifts on your birthday
But you'll never know who I am

I'll be whoever you want me to be
And I'll say all of your favorite things
And I'll give you all the blame
Who falls in love on a first date
Oh you think you know who I am

And I'll give you all the blame
Who falls in love on a first date
Oh you think you know who I am
