Lyrics

Manipulate

Well, the first step
Is to talk till they give in
Don't give it up until you get it
Break down their walls till you living
Inside their mind for free

That's when you know that you're winning
Wrapped around your finger, you're spinning
The story so you look good in it
Is that so bad of me?

I'm a liar, I'm a counterfeit
Yeah, I'm good at it
Burning your desire, I never meant it
Yeah, I'm full of shit

I keep stalling, I keep stalling, I keep stalling with no apologies
Why you falling, why you falling, why you falling, falling hard over me?

What makes you so complacent?
My heart is known to be vacant
And I'm uncomfortably impatient
I lack stability

Get you to do what I want whenever
You put me under so much pressure
What makes you think we were forever?
Why so much hostility?

I'm a liar, I'm a counterfeit
Yeah, I'm good at it
Burning your desire, I never meant it
Yeah, I'm full of shit

I keep stalling, I keep stalling, I keep stalling with no apologies
Why you falling, why you falling, why you falling, falling hard over me?

Tables have turned and I'm feeling quite twisted
For once in my life, well, the power has shifted
Do you feel worthless? Do you feel pain?
I manipulated you like it was a game

I'm a liar, I'm a counterfeit
Yeah, I'm good at it
Burning your desire, I never meant it
Yeah, I'm full of shit

I keep stalling, I keep stalling, I keep stalling with no apologies
Why you falling, why you falling, why you falling, falling hard over me?

Tables have turned and I'm feeling quite twisted
For once in my life, well, the power has shifted
Do you feel worthless? Do you feel pain?
I manipulated you like it was a game

Hype List 2022: Wallice: "We're not making music for cool people"

Freshly inked with Dirty Hit - home of The 1975, Wolf Alice and Beabadoobee - it’s safe to say that alt-popster Wallice is on the right track to hit the very top.
