Karma

Karma
[verse]
It’s been twenty years since I've seen you.
Now out of the blue you’re here.
Expecting things to be as they were
before you brought me to tears.
verse
I sat at the chapel, cried all day
wearing my white wedding dress.
Wondering if I was somehow to blame;
Cursing you beneath my breath.
[pre chorus]
How dare you show your face here
after what you put me through.
You left me at the altar
facing a world without you
chorus
I won’t forgive you, but I’ll thank you;
I have a wonderful guy
It took time but now I’m doing fine.
I have a wonderful life.
[verse]
I prayed karma would catch up to you.
that some girl would break your heart.
She’d do to you what you did to me.
She would tear your world apart.
[verse]
I wondered, would it make you bitter?
Would it leave you feeling blue?
Jaded and cynical about love;
Depressed and a slave to booze.
[Pre chorus]
It’s plain to see that you’re drunk;
showing up here at my door.
Don’t waste your time explaining.
I don’t love you anymore.
[chorus]
I won’t forgive you but, I’ll
thank you.
I have a wonderful guy.
It took time but now I’m doing fine
I have a wonderful life.
[outro]
Guilt and booze have ruined your life.
I have a wonderful guy.
Karma came to call on you
made you envious of mine.

  • @carroll - good lyrics. in my opinion there should be a twist to make it a bit more interesting. Like he kills her then himself 😃 or, he's not drunk, and she leaves her current mate for him.😂

  • You’re as twisted as I am! lol

    Good story Carroll, nice lyrics with an excellent structure. Enjoyed it.

  • Nice!

    Not sure about mentioning the new guy in the chorus though. Feels like this is about him and her. Maybe:

    I won’t forgive you, but I’ll thank you;

    I have a wonderful life.

    Leaving was the best gift you could give me

    It took time but now I’m doing fine.

    Mentioning him in the outro though feels very natural.
