Watch Me Shine
Lyrics
Verse 1)
I remember sitting on the edge of the bed
Watching you stare at your screen instead
Of looking at me, the one by your side
While you were busy chasing what you wanted to hide.
You thought you were slick, thought I didn't see
Every little look, every third-party plea.
You treated my love like a cheap, throwaway line,
But look at the clock, yeah, it’s finally my time.
(Chorus)
Now you’re watching me shine, watching me grow,
Revenge looks good on a sold-out show.
You wanted other girls? Well, go take your pick,
'Cause I’m moving too fast and I’m hitting too quick.
You treated me dirty, you left me in the dust,
Now you’re choking on the smoke of my newborn trust.
Yeah, look at me now, I’m the one on the throne,
And you’re just a ghost sitting all alone.
(Verse 2)
You used to think your words could tear me apart,
Leaving little scars all over my heart.
But every single tear was a spark in the dark,
And now I’m the fire burning down your park.
I see you scrolling late night, checking my grid,
Regretting every single little thing that you did.
The glow up is real, and the satisfaction’s sweet,
To see you begging just to walk down my street.
(Chorus)
Now you’re watching me shine, watching me grow,
Revenge looks good on a sold-out show.
You wanted other girls? Well, go take your pick,
'Cause I’m moving too fast and I’m hitting too quick.
You treated me dirty, you left me in the dust,
Now you’re choking on the smoke of my newborn trust.
Yeah, look at me now, I’m the one on the throne,
And you’re just a ghost sitting all alone.
(Bridge)
No more crying over texts you didn't send,
No more wondering if this is the end.
The best revenge isn't breaking your car,
It’s becoming a mother-fucking superstar.
You wanted options? Well, look at me now—
I’m the headliner, and you’re just in the crowd.
(Guitar/Synth Solo)
(Chorus)
Now you’re watching me shine, watching me grow,
Revenge looks good on a sold-out show.
You wanted other girls? Well, go take your pick,
'Cause I’m moving too fast and I’m hitting too quick.
You treated me dirty, you left me in the dust,
Now you’re choking on the smoke of my newborn trust.
Yeah, look at me now, I’m the one on the throne,
And you’re just a ghost sitting all alone.
(Outro)
Yeah, look at me now,
I'm the one on the throne.
