[Verse 1]
Tried to play nice
Held my tongue for days
Gave you room to breathe
You just fed the blaze
I let it slide once
Let you off my chest
You wore my kindness
Like a borrowed dress
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the whole room tilts
When you say my name
I can feel it turn
I can feel the game
[Chorus]
Tried to play nice, tried to forgive you once
Karma is coming, and it knows your name
Tried to play nice, tried to forgive you once
Karma is coming, and it knows your name
(Karma knows your name)
(Karma knows your name)
[Verse 2]
You left the door cracked
Left your mess in view
Thought I'd clean it up
Like I always do
But I got new hands now
And a harder stare
I don't fold that easy
I don't bend for scared
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the whole room tilts
When you say my name
I can feel it turn
I can feel the game
[Chorus]
Tried to play nice, tried to forgive you once
Karma is coming, and it knows your name
Tried to play nice, tried to forgive you once
Karma is coming, and it knows your name
(Karma knows your name)
(Karma knows your name)
[Bridge]
Funny how the truth
Finds a way back home
Every little lie
Leaves a shadow stone
I won't chase you down
I won't raise my voice
I'll just let it land
And make its choice
[Tape Stop]
Tried to play nice...
[Final Chorus]
Tried to play nice, tried to forgive you once
Karma is coming, and it knows your name
Tried to play nice, tried to forgive you once
Karma is coming, and it knows your name
(Karma knows your name)
(Karma knows your name)
