[Intro]
Yeah… I saw it coming
I wasn’t surprised
[Verse 1]
I kept the list of every time you let me down,
Played it in my head like a song that haunts this town.
Thought I’d crumble when you fumbled what I gave for free,
But I learned to love the part of me you couldn’t see.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You swore I needed you to make it,
but look at me — I’m doing better, and you hate it.
[Chorus 1]
I manifested you'd let me down, so when you did, I had you beat —
just another broken promise on repeat.
You thought you could stop me, thought I’d fall to my knees,
but I’m standing in the fire and I’m finally free.
If you think you get to come back now, boy, take a seat —
I already had you beat.
I already had you beat.
[Verse 2]
You thrived on my kindness, thought I’d shrink to fit your world,
But I’m taller in my heels than I was when I was your girl.
You mistook my silence for weakness, yeah you thought you had control,
But I’m done auditioning for someone who could never play the role.
Pre-Chorus 2
You said I’d never stand on my own,
but look at me — I made it, and I’m stronger than I’ve known.
[Chorus 2]
I manifested you'd let me down, so when you did, I had you beat —
just another broken promise on repeat.
You thought you could stop me, thought I’d fall to my knees,
but I’m standing in the fire and I’m finally free.
If you think you get to come back now, boy, take a seat —
I already had you beat.
I already had you beat.
Bridge
You were praying I would break again,
You were waiting for the fall —
But I stitched myself together,
Now I’m stronger than it all.
Don’t say you’re proud of me now,
You never cared to see me grow —
I built my future from the wreckage,
Now I’m someone you don’t know.
[Chorus 3 / Outro]
I manifested you'd let me down, so when you did, I had you beat —
just another broken promise on repeat.
You thought you could stop me, thought I’d fall to my knees,
but I’m standing in the fire and I’m finally free.
If you think you get to come back now, boy, take a seat —
I already had you beat.
I already had you beat.
