You manipulated and dictated what I'm supposed to think
I don't understand how you swept in & blinded me
I was so in love, yet I was dedicated to you

Thought everything was perfect and I thought nothing would change
Now all of a sudden I can see right through your games
And I can't believe I gave my whole life to you

It hurts so much inside, I don't know how you controlled my mind
And there's no way you can make it fine
Don't think I can forgive you if I tried.
Cause you brainwashed me, you had me thinking we would last forever
But now it's over, I really need to clear my head and start over
I don't know how I let you brainwash me,
You had me thinking I can live without you
Why didn't I see it?
Unless I've really been a fool and believed it, but I believed it

Now you got me out here trying to figure out just how to breathe
Don't know which was to go, it's been so long since I was free
I opened up and changed my life
You left me hung out to... you lead me on.

Thought everything was perfect and I thought nothing would change
Now all of a sudden I can see right through your games
And I can't believe I gave my whole life to you

It hurts so much inside, see I don't know how you controlled my mind
And there's no way you can make it fine
Don't think I can forgive you if I tried.
Cause you brainwashed me, you had me thinking we would last forever
But now it's over, I really need to clear my head and start over
I don't know how I let you brainwash me,
You had me thinking I can live without you
Why didn't I see it?
Unless I've really been a fool and believed it, but I believed it

Now I close my eyes, everything around me is much clearer.
Why was I so blind? To let you take over my whole life.
I'm gonna start new and it's gonna be without you
Make sure this never ever happens again, you know
And I wont be too afraid to take the chance
And I'll never let another dude.

Cause you brainwashed me, you had me thinking we would last forever
But now it's over, I really need to clear my head and start over
I don't know how I let you brainwash me,
You had me thinking I can live without you
Why didn't I see it?
Unless I've really been a fool and believed it, but I believed it.

Brainwashed me. Never again, never again
