The Reckoning

Cross my heart, broke your promise, told me lies

Why did you

Watch me suffer, make me feel like I deserved to

Everybody takes, everybody breaks

Somebody’s heart leaving some on their own

But this felt more like you ripping flesh from bone

You made a mess out of me

Where do I begin?

You paid for your sins

Like a reckoning

You never saw coming

I’m the reaper outside your door

You took everything made me feel less than nothing

I’m getting what I came for

Like the sound of all the stars crashing in the dark

I said a prayer and buried your name

And up through the ashes I rose like wildfire

The reckoning

I gave you more than my heart could hope for

You misused it

Scraped up every piece that fell to the floor

When you tore through it

Laying me to ruin

You knew what you were doing

Leaving me to skin and bone

But trusting you was no one’s fault but my own

You get what you give

So take your last breath

Before I lay you to rest

Like a reckoning

You never saw coming

I’m the reaper outside your door

You took everything made me feel less than nothing

I’m getting what I came for

Like the sound of all the stars crashing in the dark

I said a prayer and buried your name

And up through the ashes I rose like wildfire

I should have known better than that

I should have known all along

I should have known better than that

I should have known

But now I’m moving on

Like a reckoning

You never saw coming

I’m the reaper outside your door

You took everything made me feel less than nothing

I’m getting what I came for

Like the sound of all the stars crashing in the dark

I said a prayer and buried your name

And up through the ashes I rose like wildfire

The reckoning

You never saw coming

You never saw me coming

The reckoning

I’m the reaper outside your door

I am the reckoning

For every wrong you ever did to me

I am the reckoning
