Game of Shadows

Oh, I tried to warn you

You didn’t hear my call

Thought you played me right,

But look who’s taking the fall

You played the game like a pro,

But I saw the cracks,

Thought you could beat the system,

Now you’re counting your tracks.

You raced ahead in the dark,

Blinded by your pride,

Now I’m watching you crumble,

With nowhere to hide.

You thought you had it all,

Thought you were the king,

But when the music fades,

It’s just a hollow ring.

Now you’re sharing pieces of your heart,

With someone who can’t fill the void,

Look who’s all alone,

You thought you had it made,

But I’m the one still grown.

You set me up on the line,

But I’m the one who thrives,

While you play for seconds,

Watch as your spirit dives.

Thought you could rewrite rules,

Change the story of your fate,

But every game has a player,

You didn’t calculate.

You trusted in the chaos,

Thought you were wise,

But it’s the subtle moves,

That take the biggest prize.

Now you’re sharing pieces of your heart,

With someone who can’t fill the void,

Look who’s all alone,

You thought you had it made,

But I’m the one still grown.

You can’t shift the blame,

When you face the truth,

In the end, you lost,

To a girl with proof.

I’m rising from your ashes,

Stronger than before,

While you search for your shadows,

I’m knocking at your door.

So heed the warning next time,

When you feel that call,

Remember who the winner is,

I’ll be standing tall.
