You left me for dead

You only come around when the lights get bright,

But when I needed you most, you were out of sight.

You used my name just to climb that height,

But forgot who taught you how to fight.

You took advantage ’cause my heart was kind,

Thought I wouldn’t notice all the snakish signs.

You were plotting on me while you smiled in my eyes—

But betrayal never stays in disguise.

(Pre-Chorus)

You thought I'd fall apart without your fake love,

But I rose from the dirt like I came from above.

You left me bleeding while you called it tough—

Funny how you crumble now that I’ve had enough.

(Chorus)

You left me for dead, but I’m still on my feet,

You prayed for my downfall—look who’s elite.

You tried to replace me, but you can’t compete,

Now I’m everything you wanted to be.

Yeah, you left me for dead.

(Verse 2)

You talk like you built what I stand on now,

But your whole foundation’s been crumbling down.

You said you were loyal—what a joke, what a clown,

I pulled myself up while you stayed on the ground.

You stole my style, tried to steal my sound,

But the truth hits hard when the real one’s around.

You thought you were queen? Well, look at you now—

Losing your crown with no one to bow.

(Pre-Chorus)

You thought I'd break when you walked away,

But I’m stronger than the lies you’d say.

Your shadow can't follow where I elevate—

Now you’re just a chapter I had to erase.

(Chorus)

You left me for dead, but I’m still on my feet,

You prayed for my downfall—look who’s elite.

You tried to replace me, but you can’t compete,

Now I’m everything you wanted to be.

Yeah, you left me for dead.

(Bridge)

Now look who’s calling, look who’s pressed,

Look who’s drowning in the mess they left.

I shine so bright you can’t second-guess—

I became the storm you should’ve never messed with.

(Final Chorus)

You left me for dead, now I’m living instead,

Got the world at my feet, every word I’ve said.

You tried to destroy me—look how that went…

I’m the one they crown, and you’re the past they forget.

Yeah, you left me for dead.
