[Verse 1] Sunlight on the windowsill, we were tangled in the sheets You were my forever plan, I was on my knees (so sweet) Every promise was a rhythm, every kiss a perfect rhyme I was building us a kingdom, one heartbeat at a time Then a whisper turned to thunder, saw the name across your phone All that innocence I wondered… where did it go? You pulled the rug so quietly, I didn't hear the sound Just the echo of a liar when the walls came down [Chorus] (Rock Reggae - heavy offbeat, bass drop) Now I hear your pretty little world fell apart the same way Someone played your game and left you with the price to pay I built my walls from the rubble, took forever to feel right But karma's got a melody and it's playing sweet tonight (Ad-lib: Ooh, that's cold) I bet that stings, don't it? (Ad-lib: Yeah, it does) Tell me how that poison tastes When the shoe's on the other runner And you're begging for the grace you never gave (Ad-lib: What goes around...) I bet that stings, don't it? (Ad-lib: Stings, don't it?) [Verse 2] I've been walking through the wreckage, trusting no one with my soul Took a match to every "forever," lost all self-control But the phone rang last night, girl, you won't believe the news He got left the same way he left me—ain't that the purest blues? No, I'm not the one who did it, but I won't pretend to cry There's a strange and holy justice in the tear behind your eye And the healing ain't completed, and the scars are still a mess But this little bit of schadenfreude… yeah, it helps me rest [Chorus] (Full band, add organ swells) Now I hear your pretty little world fell apart the same way Someone played your game and left you with the price to pay I built my walls from the rubble, took forever to feel right But karma's got a melody and it's playing sweet tonight (Ad-lib: Oh, that's rough) I bet that stings, don't it? (Ad-lib: Like a bee) Tell me how that poison tastes When the shoe's on the other runner And you're begging for the grace you never gave (Ad-lib: Round and round) I bet that stings, don't it? (Ad-lib: Tell me the truth now) [Bridge] (Tempo pulls back, rock reggae breakdown, bass solo feel) I don't wish you well… but I don't wish you dead Just a mirror held up to the mess inside your head And every lie you sold me, every secret tryst Is now a stone around your neck that someone else just kissed (Spoken/sung ad-lib over bass: Yeah... that's the one.) [Outro] (Driving groove, fade on a single snare hit) So I'll pour one out for the lesson And I'll laugh so I don't cry But the sweetest sound in ages Is the "why" behind your "why" (Ad-lib: You feel that?) I bet that stings… (Ad-lib: Right there, don't it?) I bet that stings… (Ad-lib: Karma's a queen) Don't it? (Full stop. Bass drop.) Stings, don't it?
