Scheming

[Verse 1]

I should’ve seen the warning signs,

but I was too busy making you king.

You had your hands on my crown,

while your lips were on his skin.

But oh baby, I don’t break—I bend.

And when I bend, I snap back harder.

Hope you like the taste of karma,

served cold with a razor-sharp kiss.

[Pre-Chorus]

Think you fooled me, had your fun,

but the battle’s just begun.

I’m rising up, won’t back down,

get ready, I’m taking the crown.

[Chorus 1] 

Oh, I’ve been scheming, scheming, working overtime.

Lining up the dominos, watching them fall in time.

You played me like a game, thought you’d win every round—

But I flipped the board, now I’m taking you down.

Scheming, scheming, yeah, I play it smart.

Twist the knife, baby, straight through your heart.

You wanted a show? Now sit back and scream—

Welcome to the nightmare you made for me.

[Verse 2]

He calls you “baby,” does he call you mine?

Did he ever wonder where you were at night?

You can keep your fucking fairytales,

‘cause I rewrote the ending just right.

And oh baby, I don’t chase—I lead.

And when I lead, you follow me down.

Right into the fire you started,

now you’re choking on the smoke.

[Pre-Chorus]

Think you fooled me, had your fun,

but the battle’s just begun.

I’m rising up, won’t back down,

get ready, I’m taking the crown.

[Chorus 2]

Oh, I’ve been scheming, scheming, working overtime.

Lining up the dominos, watching them fall in time.

You played me like a game, thought you’d win every round—

But I flipped the board, now I’m taking you down.

Scheming, scheming, yeah, I play it smart.

Twist the knife, baby, straight through your heart.

You wanted a show? Now sit back and scream—

Welcome to the nightmare you made for me.

[Bridge 1]

“I was never the villain in this story… but I sure as hell know how to play the part.”

[Chorus 3]

Oh, I’ve been scheming, scheming, working overtime.

Lining up the dominos, watching them fall in time.

You played me like a game, thought you’d win every round—

But I flipped the board, now I’m taking you down.

Scheming, scheming, yeah, I play it smart.

Twist the knife, baby, straight through your heart.

You wanted a show? Now sit back and scream—

Welcome to the nightmare you made for me.

[Outro]

“Game over.”
