[Verse 1]
Look me in the eyes
Tell me you're not lyin' to me
See through your disguise
You can't keep on hidin' from me
Time to make it right
So why are you still sayin' I'm wrong?
Well, it's only a matter of time to set it straight
Time to tell the world that you've been lyin' on my name
Doin' what you want and think you're gonna get away
Well, I'll leave it up to faith for now
[Chorus]
But it's only a matter of time
An eye for an eye, you'll go blind
And when did you stop bein' kind?
You twisted your words like a knife
Well, I'm sure that you're hurting inside
But why would you makе your pain mine?
You're makin' me pay for your crimеs
Well, darlin', I'll be fine
But it's only a matter of
[Verse 2]
It ain't over yet
You can't tear me down and act like I will just forget
When karma comes around, then you'll be drowning in regret
But it's not about revenge tonight
[Chorus]
No, it's only a matter of time
An eye for an eye, you'll go blind
And when did you stop bein' kind?
You twisted your words like a knife
Oh
[Bridge]
Pick myself up off the floor, you can't hurt me
No more of this endless charade
I'm not playin' your game
You can say what you like
Doesn't mean that you're right
Are you glad you got that out?
Do you feel better now?
Do you feel better now? Oh
[Chorus]
Time
An eye for an eye, you'll go blind
When did you stop bein' kind?
You twisted your words like a knife
Well, I'm sure that you're hurting inside
But why would you make your pain mine?
You're makin' me pay for your crimes
Well, darlin', I'll be fine
But it's only a matter of time

I wrote this song in the summer of 2020 in a moment in time where social media was bringing a lot of darkness to my life. It was healing to put my phone down, turn off the noise and just write. There’s good that comes from social media, but it’s also become a place where people can say anything abou...
