"The Reckoning" Lyrics

Cross my heart, broke your promise...
told me lies. Why did you....
watch me suffer, make me feel like I...
deserve 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 outta me
Where do I begin
You'll pay for your sins...

CHORUS
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 a set of falling stars
crashing in the dark
I said a prayer and burried your name
And up through the ashes
I rose like wild fire....
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 ones fault...
but my own.

You get what you give
so take your last breath
before I lay you to rest.

CHORUS
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 a set of falling stars
crashing in the dark
I said a prayer and burried your name
And up through the ashes
I rose like wild fire

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 a set of falling stars
crashing in the dark
I said a prayer and burried your name
And up through the ashes
I rose like wild fire
The Reckoning

Ya never saw it coming
Ya never saw it 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.
