if i'm manipulative
it's never for a bad purpose
a girl as kind as me
with a gentle heart
will hurt no one.

i don't understand why
just why, why nothing
nobody understands me
just me, nothing specific about me
it really hurts.

i don't think i could ever hurt anyone
and if i have, it's not in bad intentions
a cut made by mistake surely cannot carry
the evil and darkness of a purposeful strike
or can it?

can i possibly be evil
could i be terrible
i surely could, but i am not
i judge people, but keep it to myself
i am secretly cruel.

surely i am not evil
i do not wish to crush mountains or waves
surely i am not manipulative
i do not wish to make people go someplace.

i don't think i could ever manipulate anyone
and if i have, i don't think i could succeed
a fool who forces others to do his bidding
will be destroyed by his copy in the end.
