[Verse 1]

There are people like you

And there are people like me

Those who want fleeting things

And those who love hopelessly

But as you held me tight

I knew at that time

By the time I wake, you’ll

Disappear from my side


[Pre-Chorus 1]

We're on a ship without any sail

Bound to get lost and sink without fail

I run to you, fast-paced like a ghost

But you brush me off like dust on your clothes


[Chorus]

We get drunk on lust

(We get drunk but it’s never enough)

Thriving off thе drama

(I’ve been hurt enough to be finе)

Here, I’ll pay the cost

(It’s my fault, I expected too much)

Maybe it was karma

(What did I ever do wrong to you?)


[Verse 2]

There are people like you

And there are people like me

Cursing your cruel name when

We signed for this casually

(Let’s keep this casual)

And if I’m down to bleed

You are the knife that cuts

Watch me anticipate while

You slam all the chances shut (oh)


[Pre-Chorus 2]

“Do not expect” he quietly says

As he proceeds to mess with my head

I run to you, fast-paced like a ghost

But you disappear just like a rainbow


[Chorus]

We get drunk on lust

(We get drunk but it’s never enough)

Thriving off the drama

(I’ve been hurt enough to be fine)

Here, I’ll pay the cost

(It’s my fault, I expected too much)

Maybe it was karma

(What did I ever do wrong to you?)


[Bridge]

Somewhere down that summer rain

I sucked up every bit of that pain

Coming home with tears in my eyes

Ignored my texts, it’s out of your spite

(Out of your spite)

My heart, a dark shade of tangerine

You shamed me for your friends to all see

Now, I wonder where it went wrong

But should I bite my tongue before I talk? ‘Cause-


[Chorus]

We get drunk on lust

(We get drunk but it’s never enough)

Thriving off the drama

(I’ve been hurt enough to be fine)

Here, I’ll pay the cost

(It’s my fault, I expected too much)

Maybe it was karma

(What did I ever do wrong to you?)


[Bridge]

Somewhere down that summer rain

I sucked up every bit of that pain

Coming home with tears in my eyes

Ignored my texts, it’s out of your spite (woo!)

My heart, a dark shade of tangerine

You shamed me for your friends to all see

Now I wonder where it went wrong

But then again, what did I ever do wrong to you?


[Outro]

It was karma

Yeah
