Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You had your tells Eyes flicked left Phone face down Breath too held I let it slide Filed each lie Smiled so wide Planned my time [Chorus] You played me But I played you first Thought I’d break your heart Thought I’d make you hurt Yeah you played me But that chapter’s cursed ‘Cause karma stepped in Hit me harder KARMA played me better Worse You played me But I played you first Cold little game I rehearsed every word Now I’m the one Who’s stuck with the burn ‘Cause karma kept score Swinging sharper KARMA played me better Worse [Verse 2] Sent that text You’d hate to see Told your secrets Set them free Watched you crack Felt that thrill But the echo Hit me still [Bridge] Now every time I sleep I hear your name in my head (in my head) Every time I reach I touch the ghost of your bed Thought I ran the board Thought I held the tether But the only real winner KARMA played me better [Chorus] You played me But I played you first Thought I’d break your heart Thought I’d make you hurt Yeah you played me But that chapter’s cursed ‘Cause karma stepped in Hit me harder KARMA played me better Worse You played me But I played you first Cold little game I rehearsed every word Now I’m the one Who’s stuck with the burn ‘Cause karma kept score Swinging sharper KARMA played me better Worse

Moody pop-trap with female vocals; sparse detuned keys and filtered percussion in the verses, then a hard-hitting, swung drum groove and sub bass drop for the hook. Big stacked harmonies on the title line, with ear-candy echoes and reverse FX swelling into each chorus. Final chorus strips back to vocal and bass for a cold, satisfying sting.
