[Intro]
You wanted me to be a shadow of your light
A whisper in the margin, a soft, quiet bite
[Verse 1]
You wanted me to be an addition, a calm, pretty side
A tiny detail in your picture, nothing you couldn't hide
But you misread the chessboard from the very start
Thought you held the strings, but you pulled on my heart
[Chorus]
You wanted to control, but you lost the thread of the night
You became a knot in my mood, not a beacon in the light
You tried to decorate my days, but you tangled my mood instead
Now you circle close, and I rise ahead
[Verse 2]
You wanted me to be an ornament, a soft name in your corner space
Yet every step you took drew you nearer to my pace
The more you approached, the more you changed the scene
Now I’m the one who writes the lines you never mean
[Chorus]
You wanted to direct me, but you drifted off the course you planned
You sought to own my voice, but I found my own demand
You tried to label me, to fit me in your mood
But now your own reflection is the one that’s rude
[Bridge]
You became my cat, stubborn, jealous, eyes full of fire
Circling my life, chasing a truth you can’t acquire
[Verse 3]
You walked toward me every time I called your name
And in the mirror of my will, you faded into blame
Now the table turns, the game has come alive
I’m standing tall, while you’re the echo in my stride
[Chorus]
You wanted to control, but you lost the thread of the night
You became a knot in my mood, not a beacon in the light
You tried to decorate my days, but you tangled my mood instead
Now you circle close, and I rise ahead
[Outro]
You became my cat, and I set the pace
If you come near again, you’ll meet your own embrace
