The bill comes due

(Verse1)

You always loved the sound of your own voice Leaving me wrecked like it was just a choice You took my youth, you took my favorite sweater And told your friends that you could do much betterYou left the campsite burning, walked away Assuming you would never have to

(chorus.)

But the universe keeps receipts, my dear And the cosmic clock is striking clear You thought you got away scot-free While you were busy breaking me But honey, gravity is cruel and true And your bill just came due.

(Verse 2)

I heard your new flame treats you like an optionPlays the same games that you used to drop inYou’re waiting by the phone just like I didReaping every single storm you hidIt’s funny how the tables love to spinYou never thought you'd be the one locked in.

(Chorus)

Because the universe keeps receipts, my dearAnd the cosmic clock is striking clearYou thought you got away scot-freeWhile you were busy breaking meBut honey, gravity is cruel and trueAnd your bill just came due.

(Bridge)

I didn't have to key your carI didn't have to start a warI just sat back and watched the skyWhile time went ahead and waved goodbyeYou built a house out of deceitNow look who's sleeping on the street.

(Guitar Solo / InstrumentalBreakdown)

(Chorus)

Yeah, the universe keeps receipts, my dearAnd the cosmic clock is striking clearYou thought you got away scot-freeWhile you were busy breaking meBut honey, gravity is cruel and trueYeah, your bill just came due.

(Outro)

Mm, look at that total.Pay up.

(Fade out on a single, sharp acoustic Strum)
