Halestorm - The Reckoning Lyrics
Cross my heart, broke your promise, told me liesWhy did youWatch me suffer, make me feel like I deserved toEverybody takes, everybody breaks somebody’s heart leaving some on their ownBut this felt more like you ripping flesh from boneYou made a mess out of meWhere do I begin?You paid for your sins[Chorus:]Like a reckoningYou never saw comingI’m the reaper outside your doorYou took everything made me feel less than nothingI’m getting what I came forLike the sound of all the stars crashing in the darkI said a prayer and buried your nameAnd up through the ashes I rose like wildfireThe reckoningI gave you more than my heart could hope forYou misused itScraped up every piece that fell to the floorWhen you tore through itLaying me to ruinYou knew what you were doingLeaving me to skin and boneBut trusting you was no one’s fault but my ownYou get what you giveSo take your last breathBefore I lay you to rest[Chorus]I should have known better than thatI should have known all alongI should have known better than thatI should have knownBut now I’m moving on[Chorus]The reckoningYou never saw comingYou never saw me comingThe reckoningI’m the reaper outside your doorI am the reckoningYou’re every wrong you ever did to meI am the reckoning
