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 You're every wrong you ever did to me I am the reckoning
