Karma

(for Diana)

So you want to hurt me to make yourself look good
You’ve destroyed me to others to build yourself up
Don’t mistake my silence for weakness
I’ve decided to take the higher road
I don’t need to sink to your level to know it’s not true
Your dirty tactics will come back to haunt you
I’ve held my tongue because I know
You get what you give, karma doesn’t forget
You’ll hurt one day, like you’ve hurt me
And as you’re wondering how this could have happened
You’ll see my face, happy and smiling in my life
As you suffer and toil through yours

I don’t have to do anything to make this right
I don’t have to justify my silence to anyone
I don’t need to go to war with you to win justice
Karma is my weapon and it’s going to come for you.

I had so many things I wanted to say to you
I’m so glad I never got a chance to
I would have felt like such a fool if I’d told you
How I really felt, and that I wished the best for you
Now I’ve seen a different face, true or not, it’s yours
And I know that I don’t need to say anything
I’ll write down the words I never got out
I’ll pour my heart out to this piece of paper
I’ll tell you all the things you never knew
All the feelings that I never shared
All the pain and frustration you never felt
I’ll pour my heart out to this piece of paper
And address my heart to you.

I don’t have to do anything to make this right
I don’t have to justify my silence to anyone
I don’t need to go to war with you to win justice
Karma is my weapon and it’s coming for you.

My heart is on paper, and it’s addressed to you
But you’ll never get it, and you never were going to
It’s addressed to you but Karma will take up my cause
I’m sending it to you through fire and smoke
I light the match and my hearts words burst into flames
I burn it all because you don’t deserve it
I tried to tell you and you never heard, you did me wrong
But I won’t retaliate, the smoke will reach Karma
My emotions will be understood and my pleas will be heard
And Karma will take up my cause and battle for me
I will go on living my life knowing that I did it right
I’ll know that I have transcended
I’ll know that come rain or shine I will be avenged
Karma will take up my cause and you will feel
What it was I felt when you murdered my character
And I will smile knowing that we are all equal in the end
And no one’s cries ever go unheard or unanswered
Karma will come get you; I hope you know who sent it.


I don’t have to do anything to make this right
I don’t have to justify my silence to anyone
I don’t need to go to war with you to win justice
Karma is my weapon and it has come for you
