[Intro] (Whispered)
"I know the truth."
"You can't hide from me."
"Not anymore."
(Beat drops softly, flowing into)
[Verse 1]
That item had a value you could never replace,
And I saw the raw panic flash across your face.
He stormed in the room, demanding to know the truth,
And you threw me right forward, showing me no ruth.
I was the easy target, the one you could use,
Now his fury is the fire that I refuse to lose.
[Pre-Chorus]
The air is too thin for your lies.
I see the truth right behind your eyes.
I'm done with your cheap alibi.
[Chorus]
Look at your fake-clean hands, you coward on the run,
You destroyed the good thing, before it could be done.
My reputation's the payment for the mistake that you made,
I'm the scar they see, for the mess that you made.
[Verse 2]
I watch you walk across the room like nothing was ever lost,
You never give a damn about the absolute cost.
This silence is my prison, signed off by your hand,
While you're posing like a hero who owns the whole land.
You stole the whole future that you never got to keep,
And now your freedom is the lie that I just can't sleep.
[Pre-Chorus]
The air is too thin for your lies.
I see the truth right behind your eyes.
I'm done with your cheap alibi.
[Chorus]
Look at your fake-clean hands, you coward on the run,
You destroyed the good thing, before it could be done.
My reputation's the payment for the mistake that you made,
I'm the scar they see, for the mess that you made.
[Bridge]
You look at me now, and you think you're safe and clean.
But you missed the reflection of the future you haven't seen.
I know the full truth, and I know his breaking point.
I'm the one who stands here holding the anointing joint.
I won't let you fall; I'll push you.
[Chorus]
Look at your fake-clean hands, you coward on the run,
You destroyed the good thing, before it could be done.
My reputation's the payment for the mistake that you made,
I'm the scar they see, for the mess that you made.
[Outro] (Fade/echo)
"You thought you were safe."
(Whispered slow)
"You never saw it coming."
"This is just the payment for the future you stole."
