A song about dealing with manipulators, or just damaged people who can't seem to stop hurting you.

Lyrics:
I’m so far from perfect 
Doesn’t mean I’m not worth it
I don’t deserve this hurting
No matter what you say, doesn’t change a thing 

Between the lines 
Tells a story seen a thousand times
I’ll scratch your back, you scratch mine 
Until it’s my turn then I’m hung to dry 

Pre-chorus:
I had to pry and you told me lies
If you don’t wanna talk, I don’t wanna try 
If I play these games I’ll lose my mind
So it seems we’re out of time 

Chorus:
I don’t trust you anymore 
Nothing’s the same as it was before 
Everything you say just contradicts
Everything that you claim this is

Now there’s nothing I can do
Always thought there was more to you 
It’s such a shame that once you saw I was strong
You moved on

Verse 2:
I’ve lost my patience
Waiting for reciprocation 
Because one thing’s clear 
When I need you, you disappear 

You only share things in a way 
That keeps you at arm’s length
While I give it everything 
Showing who I am, what I’m carrying 

Bridge:
Did you write down all I ever said
Just to twist words and get in my head?
I might be a fool, but I won’t pretend 
You’re playing by the rules cause I know they’re bent

Did I outgrow you? No, you changed
Something’s in your head and you’ve lost your way
Got a hold of you in your dark place 
Guess I gotta go my own way

Lost in Motion

Twist Words

We have some misperceptions 
On being strong 
If the heart of a coward 
Can learn to play along 

No one wins with the thickest skin
If it keeps out more than it lets in
Being guarded doesn’t help when
It just leaves you lost again

Pre-chorus:
I’m not sure what to believe
I keep pushing on
Just trying to stay on my feet oh

Chorus:
Cause I know what it means 
To feel like dying 
Losing hope to the point you question
Why even try and

I never wanna go back to that 
State of mind
Barely hanging on and saying I’m fine
Even when you’re not alright 

Verse 2:
There’s a voice in my head 
That tells me I’m a burden 
If I’m not invincible 
If can’t stand on my own and

I drowned it out 
In the echoes of my friends 
Saying it’s alright 
To surrender now and then

Bridge:
Why do we push things down 
When we’re feeling down
One day we’ll all be in the ground
So say what you need to now 
Just let it out
Don’t be so proud

When you’re strong for too long
All that weight stacked on your shoulders 
Will crush you 
Demolish you 

End:
Fake it until you make it
Rarely breeds competence 
It’s time for us to face this
And put it to an end

If we can’t be
Something that makes life worth it
We have to tear this down
Before we drown
