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, leavin' someone alone
But this felt more like you ripping flesh from bone
You made a mess outta me, where do I begin? You'll pay 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 fallin' 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
Layin' me to ruin, you knew what you were doin', 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

Like a reckoning you never saw coming (ah)
I'm the reaper outside your door
You took everything, made me feel less than nothin' (ah)
I'm getting what I came for (ah)
Like the sound of falling stars crashing in the dark (ah)
I said a prayer and buried your name (ah)
And up through the ashes, I rose like wildfire

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

Like a reckoning you never saw comin' (ah)
I'm the reaper outside your door
You took everything, made me feel less than nothing (ah)
I'm getting what I came for
Like the sound of fallin' stars crashin' in the dark (ah)
I said a prayer and buried your name (ah)
And up through the ashes, I rose like wildfire
The reckoning

You never saw it comin', you never saw me comin'
The reckoning
I'm the reaper outside your door, I am the reckoning
For every wrong you did to me
I am the reckoning
