[Verse 1]
You walked in grin first
Like the room was your crown
You sized me up quick
Said I’d stay on the ground
You fed me a script
With a hand on my back
Thought I was blindfolded
Thought I’d never strike back
You loved being tall
In a game you could steer
Every move, every angle
You kept it all here
[Pre-Chorus]
But I read every line
In the look on your face
You called it control
I called it a phase
You leaned in so close
Like the win was your right
Then I pulled that thread
And the whole thing cracked wide
[Chorus]
You thought you were on top
You thought you were on top
You thought I was weak
But I’m not
You thought you won the game
You thought you won the game
Now look at your hands
They’re empty
[Drop]
Oh-oh, watch it fall
Oh-oh, watch it fall
Oh-oh, not so tall
Not so tall
[Verse 2]
You wore that same smirk
Like a lock on a door
But I kept the spare key
You never asked for
You mistook quiet
For a mind you could bend
Now every small favor
Comes back in the end
I let you think big
Let you talk like a king
While I mapped every exit
And every loose string
Now your plans hit the floor
Like glass in the rain
You reached for my weakness
Found your own name
[Pre-Chorus]
But I read every line
In the look on your face
You called it control
I called it a phase
You leaned in so close
Like the win was your right
Then I pulled that thread
And the whole thing cracked wide
[Chorus]
You thought you were on top
You thought you were on top
You thought I was weak
But I’m not
You thought you won the game
You thought you won the game
Now look at your hands
They’re empty
[Bridge]
Go on, count your steps
Count them one by one
Every move you made
Just came undone
You wanted my fear
You wanted my fall
Now the mirror’s got
Your face on the wall
[Final Chorus]
You thought you were on top
You thought you were on top
You thought I was weak
But I’m not
You thought you won the game
You thought you won the game
Now look at your hands
They’re empty
You thought you were on top
You thought you were on top
I was never your chain
I’m the lock you can’t stop
