[Verse 1]
Tried to finesse me, game in reverse,
Thought I was a pawn, but I rehearsed.
Truly genuine, heart stayed pure,
Now my walls high, a locked steel door.
Turned off my feelings, cold like a breeze,
But forgiveness still blooms, I’m planting seeds.
[Prechorus]
I’m not bitter, but I’m distant,
Love’s a song, you missed the instant.
[Chorus]
Backfired, your plan backfired,
I gave my all, now I’m tired.
I forgive, but I can't stay near,
Backfired—truth's crystal clear.
[Verse 2]
Played your cards, but the deck was mine,
Your mask slipped, couldn’t toe the line.
Tried to hustle love, it don’t work that way,
I’m a vault now, words locked away.
No revenge, just peace in my stride,
Your shadow fades, I don’t need to hide.
[Bridge]
Once I cared, once I tried,
But now I see where love collides.
You lit the match, I walked through flames,
Left unburned, but never the same.
[Chorus]
Backfired, your plan backfired,
I gave my all, now I’m tired.
I forgive, but I can't stay near,
Backfired—truth's crystal clear.
