Cross my heart, broke your promise, told me lies
Why did you

Watch me suffer, make me feel like I deserved to

You made a mess out of me
Where do I begin?

And up through the ashes I rose like wildfire

The reckoning

I gave you more than my heart could hope for
You misused it
G Cm
Scraped up every piece that fell to the floor
When you tore through it
G
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
