How the Tables Turn

Break my bones Go ahead They'll just turn to dust anyway Call me names If you dare They're a reflection of your soul But don't you dare Say you care Than come and abuse my heart To love one completely Means to build them up Not demolish their inner being So many times You've built me up Just to knock me down You sat there smug Laughing it up While I remained in silence But not no more This is where it ends No longer will I let you win So poof be gone Just disappear You no longer have any power From now on I wear my crown I make my life's decisions It's me who'll decide Who is dead or alive It is I who holds the power In your game You've been defeated By your expendable pawn But if you look You will clearly see You never stood a chance For when you play With a crooked hand One day you'll get called out Than it will be you Getting played Like the joker, like the fool
