I love until it hurts
I run until I’m in pain
And if I don’t stand in it
How do I know it’s really rain
If I don’t feel my feelings
How do I know that I’m alive
And if I don’t write it down
What’s left of me when I die

I love until it hurts
I run until I’m in pain
And if I don’t stand in it
How do I know it’s really rain
If I don’t feel my feelings
How do I know that I’m alive
And if I don’t write it down
What’s left of me when I die

They knew me as Karma
Back home where I’m from
I’ve let them think they’ve played me
I’ve let them think I’m dumb
Because I follow their lead
But I know a thing or two
Love is not a game
But I’ll play it here with you
[Chorus:]
They think I’m an easy target
Saying “look how I can get her”
But I’m just dodging bullets
Maybe next time they’ll aim better
They’re asking what’s the catch
So I’ll tell them that it’s me
They’re grinning at the challenge
But it won’t be that easy
They think they hold the power
They believe they’re in control
But I’ll John Tucker these boys
Until it takes its toll
[Chorus:]
They think I’m an easy target
Saying “look how I can get her”
But I’m just dodging bullets
Maybe next time they’ll aim better
They were playing all the games
And not noticing my lead
I flipped the script and snagged them
Until I was what they need
They thought they had me fooled
They were telling all their friends
So I will rip their heart out
That’s the way this story ends
[Chorus 2:]
They think I’m an easy target
Saying “look at what I’ve got”
But I just dodged a bullet
Maybe next time they’ll get shot
And that’s why they call me Karma…
Note: I usually don’t write about things I don’t relate to, but I had this idea for a song and wanted to see how it would play out. I was thinking country female rage.

You might be a vegan
But you caught me like a fish in a hook
I’m begging you to release me
I don’t belong on a shelf like a book
You have more compassion for animals
You try to oversimplify
By telling me you don’t know what you want
But you still won’t say goodbye
I told you that was all I needed
I couldn’t have you disappear again
Then I don’t hear from you
Going against calling me a friend
There’s no basic respect
You want what you want
You say you don’t know what that is
But you know what it’s not
There’s a lump in my throat
I don’t know what to do with
I say that I don’t cry
But I need to release this
I let one tear go
But there’s so much more
I’ve bottled up everything
To not be who I was before
And I lay myself down
In all my broken pieces
I’m trying to convince myself
That I really don’t need this
Because I loved you as a person
I don’t know if I felt more
But what do I do with this love
You don’t want anymore
I pretend that I don’t care
But you know that’s a lie
How can I let this go
When you couldn’t say bye
So I will use my words
To strike this match
And burn our bridge
You can’t have me back
