Watch Me Rise

Intro

(Oo-oh, yah) (ah)

Soft lights, big smile, I step in—watch me (watch me)

Verse

You thought I’d stumble, thought I’d fade away

But I learned to dance on the pieces of the day

Silk dress, new laugh, I’m sharper than your memory

Sippin’ sweet, movin’ slow, dangerous like melody (ooh)

You call at midnight, voice thin as apology

I read every line like it’s all a prophecy

But baby, this edition’s different — I’m the headline

You wanted me to bow, but I redesigned my spine (yah)

Pre-chorus

I glow (glow), I grow (grow), I got that slow-burn tempo

Every look you give is credit to my echo (echo)

You wanna find the version that you used to know

But I’m a new taste now — fire and mango (mm)

Chorus

Watch me now, watch me rise, watch me take the floor (take the floor)

I move like velvet, leave you wantin’ more (wantin’ more)

I kiss the night, then I turn away, oh-oh (turn away)

Revenge is gentle, sweet revenge — I’ll make you stay (make you stay)

Watch me now, watch me rise, watch me take the floor (ah-ah)

I laugh, I love, I let you ache for more (ache for more)

I kiss the night, then I walk away, ooh-ooh (walk away)

Revenge is romance, baby — I’m the encore (yah)

Verse

Late texts, late pleas, you say you changed your mind

But I’m busy writing lyrics that sound like my skyline

We used to be a script that kept repeating lines

Now I’m the author, baby, I rewrite the signs (hey)

I’m not cold — I’m careful, building back my palette

Colors loud, mouth proud, every step a challenge

You thought you owned the map, now you’re just a tourist

Follow my footprints, but you missed the chorus (ooh)

Pre-chorus

I glow (glow), I grow (grow), I move in softer thunder

Every step a sentence, every whisper a wonder (wonder)

You want the old me, pale and thin like paper snow

But I’m a new skyline — heat, honey, and mango (mm)

Chorus

Watch me now, watch me rise, watch me take the floor (take the floor)

I move like velvet, leave you wantin’ more (wantin’ more)

I kiss the night, then I turn away, oh-oh (turn away)

Revenge is gentle, sweet revenge — I’ll make you stay (make you stay)

Watch me now, watch me rise, watch me take the floor (ah-ah)

I laugh, I love, I let you ache for more (ache for more)

I kiss the night, then I walk away, ooh-ooh (walk away)

Revenge is romance, baby — I’m the encore (yah)

Bridge

(Oo-oh) Ta-ta-touch my name on your tongue (on your tongue)

Ki-ki-kiss the memory — it stings and then it’s done (it’s done)

I gave you stars, you threw them like a game (like a game)

Now I’m the sun you orbit, but you can’t catch my flame (nah)

(Oh) neomaneul barabwa — you look at me (you look at me)

I smile, I shine, I let the silence be (let it be)

Chorus

Watch me now, watch me rise, watch me take the floor (take the floor)

I move like velvet, leave you wantin’ more (wantin’ more)

I kiss the night, then I turn away, oh-oh (turn away)
