Once upon a toxic deal

Once upon a time, we called it fate,

Tied in gold, but the shine was fake.

You played your role, wrote the perfect lie,

Now watch me set fire to your fairytale sky.

You shook my hand, said it’s ride or die,

Turned around, fed me sweet disguise.

But I ain't no puppet, I cut the strings,

Now I’m the queen of my own regime.

No regrets, no tears, just flames,

Turn the page, I don’t need your name.

Was a story we wrote in ink,

But I lit the match, now watch it sink.

Once upon a toxic deal,

You made me break, now I break the seal.

No more chains, no looking back,

I walk away, watch me paint it black.

Took the lesson, kept my pride,

Now I’m living how I like.

No more whispers, no more lies,

You’re a ghost to my new life.

Your words were venom laced in lace,

Smiles that hid a hollow face.

I let you in, I played it blind,

But I don’t repeat mistakes in time.

Bet you thought I’d beg, bet you thought I’d break,

Now I’m out here laughing while you double-take.

No checkmate, baby, I flipped the board,

Now I write the rules and you can’t afford.

Ashes fall, but I still stand,

No prince, no crown, I make demands.

Toxic ties left in the past,

Watch me thrive, yeah, watch me last.

Once upon a toxic deal,

You made me break, now I break the seal.

No more chains, no looking back,

I walk away, watch me paint it black.

Took the lesson, kept my pride,

Now I’m living how I like.

No more whispers, no more lies,

You’re a ghost to my new life.

Fairytales fade, but legends stay,

I turn the page, you're washed away.

I ain't bitter, I ain’t mad,

Just too busy chasing bags.

Once upon a toxic deal,

Now I live for what is real.
