"Gaslighter" lyrics
I can't believe it
What exactly am I seein'?
You stabbed me in the back
Now, you're pretending that you're bleedin'
You could've said you're sorry and you could've just let me heal
But instead, you're out there tryin'
To invalidate how I feel
You say I'm insecure
And you mock my intuition
But the worst part of it is
Lying could be your profession
Oh, you make me feel so dumb
Every night feels like a mission
To conceal my premonition
But leaving you's my best decision
Ooh, I did everything for you
What was I supposed to do?
When you only loved me when it suited you
How could you let me take the blame when you knew?
I'm never gonna let myself be with you
Can't play me for a fool, we're through
Didn't wanna believe it
What exactly am I hearin'?
'Cause why is your confession
Blaming it on my depression?
I know I was far from perfect
Oh, I'm very much human too
But you could've just said sorry
For the shit you put me through
And why should I be sorry for
How I felt when I was wounded?
Baby, who gave you the right
To control how my tears landed?
Am I easier to love
When I act like nothing happened?
This is all getting exhausting
And honestly, I'm over it
Ooh, I did everything for you
What was I supposed to do?
When you only loved me when it suited you
How could you let me take the blame when you knew?
I'm never gonna let myself be with you
Can't play me for a fool, we're through
Can't believe I let myself be with you, I'm through
Get out of my way
Don't care what you say, I'm so wide awake
Keep throwing the blame for all the mistakes
Keep gassing me up 'cause I'll just drive away from ya
It was never a game, but you wanted to play
Now, you want me back, but it's a little too late
But I gotta say, feels good to escape
Just know I won't regret leaving
Ooh, I did everything for you (You)
What was I supposed to do? (What was I supposed to do?)
When you only loved me when it suited you (You)
How could you let me take the blame when you knew?
I'm never gonna let myself be with you
Can't play me for a fool, we're through
What exactly am I seein'?
You stabbed me in the back
Now, you're pretending that you're bleedin'
You could've said you're sorry and you could've just let me heal
But instead, you're out there tryin'
To invalidate how I feel
You say I'm insecure
And you mock my intuition
But the worst part of it is
Lying could be your profession
Oh, you make me feel so dumb
Every night feels like a mission
To conceal my premonition
But leaving you's my best decision
Ooh, I did everything for you
What was I supposed to do?
When you only loved me when it suited you
How could you let me take the blame when you knew?
I'm never gonna let myself be with you
Can't play me for a fool, we're through
Didn't wanna believe it
What exactly am I hearin'?
'Cause why is your confession
Blaming it on my depression?
I know I was far from perfect
Oh, I'm very much human too
