Hope You Rot (But Not Before You Miss Me)

[Verse 1]
I saw your shadow in someone else’s bed
Guess heartbreak makes a pretty good perfume
You always said you hate goodbyes
But you sure looked proud when you left the room

[Pre-Chorus]
Told your friends I was crazy, a ticking time bomb
Funny how the fuse lit when you went off

[Chorus]
I hope you rot — but not before you miss me
Not before your new guy starts to twist things
Hope you choke on every lie you kissed me with
And remember what you said when you ditched me
I don’t want revenge, I want poetry
And your tears in the chorus — sung slowly
Hope you rot… but not before you miss me

[Verse 2]
Heard you’re glowing up — new hair, fake grin
Bet he don’t know who you are at 2 A.M.
Tell him I said good luck with the drama
And ask how many friends he’ll lose to your trauma

[Pre-Chorus]
You played me like a love song out of key
Now you’re stuck with the echo of me

[Chorus]
I hope you rot — but not before you miss me
Not before the silence makes you dizzy
Hope you scroll through old texts like a ritual
Tryna find the part where you didn’t kill this thing
I don’t want closure, I want chaos
And your voice breaking down in the playback
Hope you rot… but not before you miss me

[Bridge – spoken/sung slow and cold]
How many of your best friends can I fuck…
just to make the hurt go numb?
(…none of ’em helped, by the way)

[Final Chorus – full band drop, scream/clean hybrid]
I hope you rot — but not before you miss me
Not before your own guilt hits like whiskey
Hope your mirror turns you into the villain
And you hear my name in every love song chillin’
I don’t want peace, I want your truth
Wrapped in regret and played back in loop
I hope you rot…
but not before you—
MISS ME.
