Halestorm - The Reckoning lyrics
[Halestorm - The Reckoning lyrics]
Cross my heart, broke your promise
Told me lies why did you
Watch me suffer
Make me feel like I deserved to
Everybody takes, everybody breaks
Somebody's heart, leaving someone alone
But this felt more like you
Ripping flesh from bone
You made a mess out of me where do I begin?
You'll pay for your sins
Like a reckoning you never saw it coming
I'm the reaper outside your door
You took everything made me
Feel less than nothing
I'm getting what I came for
Like the sound of falling stars
Crashing in the dark
I said a prayer and buried your name
And up through the ashes I rose like wildfire
The reckoning
I gave you more than my heart could hope for
You misused it
Scraped up every piece that fell to the floor
When you tore through it laying me to ruin
You knew what you were doing
Leaving me to skin and bone
But trusting you was no one's
Fault but my own you get what you give
So take your last breath
'fore I lay you to rest
Like a reckoning you never saw it coming
I'm the reaper outside your door
You took everything made me
Feel less than nothing
I'm getting what I came for
Like the sound of falling stars
Crashing in the dark
I said a prayer and buried your name
And up through the ashes I rose like wildfire
I should have known better than that
I should have known all along
I should have known better than that
I should have known but now I'm moving on
Like a reckoning you never saw it coming
I'm the reaper outside your door
You took everything made me
Feel less than nothing
I'm getting what I came for
Like the sound of falling stars
Crashing in the dark
I said a prayer and buried your name
And up through the ashes I rose like wildfire
The reckoning you never saw it coming
You never saw me coming the reckoning
I'm the reaper outside your door
I am the reckoning
For every wrong you did to me
I am the reckoning
Told me lies why did you
Watch me suffer
Make me feel like I deserved to
Everybody takes, everybody breaks
Somebody's heart, leaving someone alone
But this felt more like you
Ripping flesh from bone
You made a mess out of me where do I begin?
You'll pay for your sins
Like a reckoning you never saw it coming
I'm the reaper outside your door
You took everything made me
Feel less than nothing
I'm getting what I came for
Like the sound of falling stars
Crashing in the dark
I said a prayer and buried your name
And up through the ashes I rose like wildfire
The reckoning
I gave you more than my heart could hope for
You misused it
Scraped up every piece that fell to the floor
When you tore through it laying me to ruin
You knew what you were doing
Leaving me to skin and bone
But trusting you was no one's
Fault but my own you get what you give
So take your last breath
'fore I lay you to rest
Like a reckoning you never saw it coming
I'm the reaper outside your door
You took everything made me
Feel less than nothing
I'm getting what I came for
Like the sound of falling stars
Crashing in the dark
I said a prayer and buried your name
And up through the ashes I rose like wildfire
I should have known better than that
I should have known all along
I should have known better than that
I should have known but now I'm moving on
Like a reckoning you never saw it coming
I'm the reaper outside your door
You took everything made me
Feel less than nothing
I'm getting what I came for
Like the sound of falling stars
Crashing in the dark
I said a prayer and buried your name
And up through the ashes I rose like wildfire
The reckoning you never saw it coming
You never saw me coming the reckoning
I'm the reaper outside your door
I am the reckoning
For every wrong you did to me
I am the reckoning
