Lyrics
So you thought you could slip away
Expressing surprise at someone trying to escape unnoticed
You change your clothing like you change your face
Highlighting a frequent change in appearance and character
Then you cry and say you'll make things right
Acknowledging apologies with skepticism
But when my back is turned you hold your knife
Revealing deceitful actions behind one's back
Save your tears
Advising against insincere displays of emotion
Unless you plan to rectify
Suggesting a need for genuine efforts to fix mistakes
The past four years
Reflecting on a period of time marred by betrayal
That I tried to protect
Expressing efforts to safeguard something important
Until you turned around and wrecked it
Regretting the destruction of what was protected
Your promises defective
Criticizing unreliable and broken promises
Well karma's a bitch and soon you'll lock lips with her
Warning of the inevitable consequences (karma) for actions
Said you couldn't sleep, well ain't that right
Questioning the sincerity of claims about insomnia
But you slept fine with them the next damn night
Pointing out hypocrisy in subsequent actions
Oh what's the matter are your feelings hurt
Mocking someone claiming emotional distress
Well I don't buy it when you make things worse
Rejecting false attempts to improve the situation
Save your tears
Reiterating the advice to save tears for genuine remorse
Unless you plan to rectify
Reemphasizing the need for meaningful change
The past four years
Recalling a time span affected by betrayal
That I tried to protect
Reiterating the protective efforts and subsequent betrayal
Until you turned around and wrecked it
Highlighting the broken nature of commitments
Your promises defective
Repeating the warning about the consequences of actions
Well karma's a bitch and soon you'll lock lips with her
Stressing the inevitability of facing karma
What goes around comes around
Expressing the cyclical nature of cause and effect
And the trust we built collapsed to death (Collapsed to death)
Describing the collapse of trust leading to a metaphorical death
My expectations on the ground
Noting shattered expectations
And the least you could do is
Encouraging silence, implying words won't mend the situation
Save your breath
Expressing disappointment and a desire to have been there
You know I would have been
Reflecting on a lost opportunity to prevent harm
There to be the
Regretting the irreversible damage
Only one to
Conveying a sense of despair and inability to tolerate it
Stop the damage
Expressing a realization of possible premeditation
But that's all lost and I can't stand it
Reiterating the unbearable nature of the situation
And I should have known that you could have planned it
Recognizing a failure to anticipate planned actions
Save your tears
Repeating the advice to save tears for genuine remorse
Unless you plan to rectify
Reemphasizing the need for meaningful change
The past four years
Recalling a time span affected by betrayal
That I tried to protect
Reiterating the protective efforts and subsequent betrayal
Until you turned around and wrecked it
Highlighting the broken nature of commitments
Your promises defective
Repeating the warning about the consequences of actions
Well karma's a bitch and soon you'll lock lips with her
Stressing the inevitability of facing karma
Yeah, soon you'll lock lips with her
Reiterating the impending encounter with karma
