Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You smiled when it suited you
Cold when the room got still
You took my heart like currency
Spent it just to get your fill
You called it love, but I could tell
It only lived for you
If it didn’t feed your hands
You let it bleed right through
[Pre-Chorus]
And I kept trying
Kept forgiving
Kept on bending
Kept on giving
Now I see it clear
What you came to do
You don’t want truth
You want what works for you
[Chorus]
You manipulated me
You manipulated me
Selfish all along
Selfish all along
If it doesn’t benefit you
You don’t want it, you don’t want it
If it doesn’t benefit you
You don’t want it, baby
[Verse 2]
You wore those tears like alibis
Perfect for the night
But behind that sweet talk grin
There was only appetite
You moved the pieces on my board
Like I was never there
Left me holding broken vows
And acting like you cared
[Pre-Chorus]
And I kept trying
Kept forgiving
Kept on bending
Kept on giving
Now I hear the truth
In every word you threw
You don’t want my heart
Unless it’s serving you
[Chorus]
You manipulated me
You manipulated me
Selfish all along
Selfish all along
If it doesn’t benefit you
You don’t want it, you don’t want it
If it doesn’t benefit you
You don’t want it, baby
[Bridge]
Go on, say I’m too much
Say I’m hard to hold
But I’m done being your answer
I’m done being sold
I gave you soft and sacred
You gave me smoke and shame
Now every time you reach for me
I know the shape of pain
[Final Chorus]
You manipulated me
You manipulated me
Selfish all along
Selfish all along
If it doesn’t benefit you
You don’t want it, you don’t want it
If it doesn’t benefit you
You don’t want it, baby
You manipulated me
You manipulated me
I’m not your easy win
I’m not your easy win
If it doesn’t benefit you
You can keep that door closed
If it doesn’t benefit you
I already know

Lead vocal is smoky and close-mic with stacked doubles on the hook, ad-lib sighs and answered phrases in the corners.
