Zevia - ​manipulation lyrics

I've never met a boy
Who likes me for me
Guess that I'm stupid
For not letting him see
It's always about you
And never about me
Told you that I'm insecure
But you don't care to think

So let me just take off all my clothes
Even if I'm uncomfortable
'Cause I feel like you won't
Love me if I don't
And let me just show you who I am
Even if that's not what I planned
'Cause you know that I can't let you go

Or maybe if you knew how I felt
We wouldn't be stuck in this dilemma
They say things will get better
But now it feels like never
And maybe if you knew what you did
You'd realize you tore my world apart
You knew just how you used me
You played me from the start

I've never had the strength
To tell you to stop
Or maybe if I did
You'd realize I'm not
Just someone you can use, boy
How would you know?
'Cause you know that you're selfish
No shame to let it show

So let me just take off all my clothes
Even if I'm uncomfortable
'Cause I feel like you won't love me
If I don't
And let me just show you who I am
Even if that's not what I planned
'Cause you know that I can't let you go

Or maybe if you knew how I felt
We wouldn't be stuck in this dilemma
They say things will get better
But now it feels like never
And maybe if you knew what you did
You'd realize you tore my world apart
You knew just how you used me
You played me from the start

Hmm-mm (However)
Hmm-mm (Knew what you did)
Hmm-mm (However)
(Knew what you did)
