Halestorm - The Reckoning lyrics

rate me

Crossed 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 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 ‘m 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 just skin and bone

But trusting you was no one’s fault but my own

You get what you give

So take your last breath

Before 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’m rose like wildfire

The reckoning

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’m 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
