Lyrics
Karma’s Quiet Reckoning
She painted on a smile like fresh coats of paint
Hid the truth in the mirror, said “Girl, it ain’t no saint”
Traded midnight whispers for bright neon lies
Sold tomorrow’s promise for a quick disguise
She stepped on her own heart just to feel the thrill
Chased the hollow laughter down a cheaper hill
Every promise that she broke was a seed she sowed
Every time she looked away, the debt just growed
Karma don’t shout, she just waits in the dark
Keeps the score with a steady, silent spark
When you betray yourself, you hand her the knife
She’ll hand it back later—right between the eyes
Oh, karma, karma, sweet and slow
She’s the echo of the woman you used to know
She ghosted her own dreams in the dead of night
Chose the easy comfort over standing for the fight
Loved the ones who used her, turned cold on the pure
Ignored the quiet voice that said “This ain’t you anymore”
Now the nights feel longer, the mirrors won’t lie
The laughter sounds borrowed, the sparkle’s gone dry
Every corner that she cut left a jagged scar
Every “just this once” became who you are
Karma don’t shout, she just waits in the dark
Keeps the score with a steady, silent spark
When you betray yourself, you hand her the knife
She’ll hand it back later—right between the eyes
Oh, karma, karma, sweet and slow
She’s the echo of the woman you used to know
One day the weight gets heavy, the mask starts to slip
You see your own reflection and finally feel the rip
No one else to blame when the circle spins ‘round
The girl in the mirror is the one who let you down
Final Chorus (softer, then building)
Karma don’t shout… but she always collects
She forgives when you rise, but she never forgets
So love yourself louder than the noise in your ear
Before the quiet teacher makes everything clear
Oh, karma, karma… teach me slow
Bring me back to the woman I used to know
She’s coming home… she’s coming home…
The woman she betrayed is finally coming home.
