The reckoning lyrics

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 someone alone

But this felt more like you ripping flesh from bone

You made a mess outta me

Where do I begin?

You pay for your sins

[Chorus:]

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 falling 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

Leavin' me just skin and bone

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

You get what you give, so take your last breath 'fore I lay you to rest

[Chorus]

I shoulda known better than that

I shoulda known all along

I shoulda known better than that

I shoulda known but now I'm moving on...

[Chorus]

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 did to me

I am the reckoning
