Manipulator(remix version)

Intro

Oh-oh

Feeling right

Verse 1

You spin words like a radio line

Sell me sunshine with a crooked grin

Every promise a little bit late

Now I see the game you're playing in

Pre-Chorus

But I'm done counting all the ways you move me

Turned the tables when you least expected me

Chorus

You're nothing but a manipulator

Working overtime to break me down

You're nothing but a manipulator

But I'm the one who's wearing the crown

Post-Chorus

Swinging swinging

Side to side

Uh uh

Verse 2

Dancing circles 'round a brand new truth

Every syllable a midnight lie

I wrote the script you only read aloud

Watch me wave goodbye to your design

Pre-Chorus

'Cause I'm done living on your hollow terms

Found my rhythm and it's finally learned

Chorus

You're nothing but a manipulator

Working overtime to break me down

You're nothing but a manipulator

But I'm the one who's wearing the crown

Bridge

Step to the left now

Step to the right now

Feel the beat lift

Watch the chains drop

Chorus

You're nothing but a manipulator

Working overtime to break me down

You're nothing but a manipulator

But I'm the one who's wearing the crown

Post-Chorus

Swinging swinging

Side to side

Uh

Verse 3

Rode your wave till it crashed on shore

Every word you sold was secondhand

Turn the mirror round and what I saw

Was the emptiest picture in the land

Pre-Chorus

Now I'm moving like the river flows

Through the places that you'll never know

Chorus

You're nothing but a manipulator

Working overtime to break me down

You're nothing but a manipulator

But I'm the one who's wearing the crown

Post-Chorus

Swinging swinging

Side to side

Uh uh

Hook

Keep on sliding

Keep on gliding

Watch me ride it

Watch me ride it

Verse 4

I recall the way you played your part

Puppet master with a velvet laugh

But the strings you pulled fell from my arms

Now you're dancing with your own shadow cast

Pre-Chorus

'Cause the fire in me won't burn out fast

Every minute I'm more built to last

Chorus

You're nothing but a manipulator

Working overtime to break me down

You're nothing but a manipulator

But I'm the one who's wearing the crown

Post-Chorus

Swinging swinging

Side to side

Uh uh

Bridge

Lean in close now

Feel the tempo

All the games you played

Turn to echo

Watch the pendulum

Swing my way now

What you thought you owned

Is mine somehow

Breakdown

Ooh ooh ooh

Can't touch this crown

Ooh ooh ooh

I'm up now

Ooh ooh ooh

No turning down

Ooh ooh ooh

Yeah I'm up now

Guitar Solo

Chorus

You're nothing but a manipulator

Working overtime to break me down

You're nothing but a manipulator

But I'm the one who's wearing the crown

Post-Chorus

Swinging swinging

Side to side

Uh uh

Outro

Every lie you told

Falls away from me

Every move you made

Just a memory

I'm the one who's wearing the crown

Yeah the one who's wearing the crown

Final Chorus

You're nothing but a manipulator

Working overtime to break me down

You're nothing but a manipulator

But I'm the one who's wearing the crown

(I'm the one)

(I'm the one)

I'm the one who's wearing the crown

(Oh yeah)

(Oh yeah)

Wearing the crown
