You Cheated But My Day Will Come

Verse 1

You left your shadow on my shirt, a guilty stain of lies

Late lights and whispered names, a poison in disguise

I watched the pieces of us fall like glass across the floor

You thought the night would hide the truth — but I can see the score

Pre-Chorus

You played your cards with a crooked smile

Burned down bridges just to hide the miles

But ashes don't stay cold for long

I'm learning how to sing my song

Chorus

You cheated, baby — you broke the trust, you stole the sun

But I'm not finished — no, my day will come

I'll raise the ruins, build myself anew

You cheated, yeah — but I'm coming through

Verse 2

Your alibis were velvet ropes that strung me out of time

You danced with empty echoes — I was running out of rhyme

I held your ghosts inside my chest until my lungs knew how to bleed

Now every lie you've ever told is just a lesson I don't need

Pre-Chorus

You thought you'd win with a silent gun

Counting victories beneath the gunmetal sun

But hollow crowns collapse in hands

And I will stand where you can't stand

Chorus

You cheated, baby — you broke the trust, you stole the sun

But I'm not finished — no, my day will come

I'll raise the ruins, build myself anew

You cheated, yeah — but I'm coming through

Bridge (soft then building)

There’s a quiet in the morning that tastes like freedom's glass

I won't be waiting at your door with the past upon my back

I'll take the scars you left like armor in the dark

Turn every broken promise into a flame and spark

Solo (guitar) — blast through the chorus progression, let it scream

Chorus (big)

You cheated, baby — you broke the trust, you stole the sun

But I'm not finished — no, my day will come

I'll raise the ruins, watch my colors run

You cheated, yeah — but I'm coming through

Outro (spoken over fading guitar)

Keep your lies, keep your midnight run

You had your hours — I own the dawn

You cheated, but my day will come.
