Intro]
(Slow, moody synth bass. Similar to the start of "What Goes Around")
Yeah...
Look, I told you, baby.
It’s not even anger anymore.
It’s just… it’s done.
You just didn’t listen.
[Verse 1]
I heard you talking to your friends again
Telling them I’m the one who didn’t try in the end
But you remember all the nights I sat alone
When your "work meetings" meant you wasn't coming home?
I was too nice, yeah, I played it cool
Told your mama you were sweet, I was acting like a fool
Now your phone is buzzing, and you're running to the door
But I can't love you anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
(Beat builds up)
Yeah, you thought I'd be crying by the picture frame
Tearing up my clothes, calling out your name
But I’m just packing quiet, watching you get frantic
Look in the mirror, yeah, is it worth the panic?
It’s a tale as old as time, baby, I tried to tell ya...
[Chorus]
(Heavy R&B drums kick in - "What Goes Around" Style)
What goes around, comes around, comes around
Yeah, it comes all the way back around
What goes around, comes around, comes around
You reap what you sow, and I’m letting you drown
In the lies you created, the games you played
Don’t ask for my sympathy, look at the mess you made
What goes around, comes around, comes around
(Yeah, it comes back)
[Verse 2]
I think it's funny how the karma works
Now you're feeling all the quiet pains and the silent jerks
You call me up at 3 AM to find a friend
But I'm just watching you get broken in the end
I’m polite when I see you, I’m nice to your folks
But loving you is just a tired, toxic joke
I played my part, kept my side of the street clean
Now I'm watching you live in your own scene
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, you thought I'd be crying by the picture frame
Tearing up my clothes, calling out your name
But I’m just packing quiet, watching you get frantic
Look in the mirror, yeah, is it worth the panic?
It’s a tale as old as time, girl, I told ya...
[Chorus]
What goes around, comes around, comes around
Yeah, it comes all the way back around
What goes around, comes around, comes around
You reap what you sow, and I’m letting you drown
In the lies you created, the games you played
Don’t ask for my sympathy, look at the mess you made
What goes around, comes around, comes around
[Bridge]
(Tempo slows down, smooth R&B vibe)
Yeah...
I treated your mama right.
I kept the house bright.
But you wanted darkness...
Now you get the night.
It's just the way it goes.
Don't you know?
[Guitar/Synth Solo]
(Melancholy but rhythmic)
[Chorus]
(Beat returns, maximum energy)
What goes around, comes around, comes around
Yeah, it comes all the way back around
What goes around, comes around, comes around
You reap what you sow, and I’m letting you drown
In the lies you created, the games you played
Don’t ask for my sympathy, look at the mess you made
What goes around, comes around, comes around
[Outro]
(Beat fades, similar to the end of "What Goes Around")
Look at you now.
All on your own.
Ain't that the way it goes?
(What goes around... co
