Karma Bites Hard

[Verse 1]
Let’s get this straight
You walked out first
Chased the rush
Left me with the worst
Packed your lies
In the back of your car
You said I’d break
Guess you missed by far
[Pre-Chorus]
You thought I’d crawl
Thought I’d call
Thought I’d beg you to come back home
But I stitched my heart
Piece by piece
Turned this quiet into stone
[Chorus]
Now you see me up
Standing on my own
Laughing in the mirror
Dancing in my clothes (yeah)
You hate that you don’t haunt me like you hoped so bad
Guess karma bites hard
Doesn’t taste too sweet
Burns on your tongue when you say my name
Baby
You wanted me broken
But look who’s hurt now
Karma bites hard
Karma bites hard
[Verse 2]
You hit my phone
Middle of the night
Said “I’m confused
Guess you were right”
She’s in your bed
But out of your mind
Must be rough
To be left behind
[Pre-Chorus]
You thought I’d ache when you won
Thought I’d shatter when you bragged
But I learned to love my scars
Now your ego’s what’s in scraps
[Chorus]
Now you see me up
Standing on my own
Laughing in the mirror
Dancing in my clothes (oh yeah)
You hate that you don’t haunt me like you hoped so bad
Guess karma bites hard
Doesn’t taste too sweet
Burns on your tongue when you say my name
Baby
You wanted me broken
But look who’s hurt now
Karma bites hard
Karma bites hard
[Bridge]
Funny how fast your story flipped
You built your throne on sinking ships
You drew the line
I walked away
Now I’m the one you beg to stay (hey)
[Chorus]
Now you see me up
Standing on my own
Laughing in the mirror
Glowing on my own
You hate that you don’t haunt me like you hoped so bad
Guess karma bites hard
Doesn’t taste too sweet
Burns on your tongue when you say my name
Baby
You wanted me broken
But look who’s hurt now
Karma bites hard
Karma bites hard
Karma bites hard on you
