Who Gets The Last Laugh?

Verse 1

You thought the night belonged to you,

Every door was open wide.

You counted wins before the ending,

Never checked who stayed alive.

You raised your glass—

Too early.

Took your bow—

Too soon.

Pre-Chorus 1

Pour the champagne.

Make it cold.

Strike up the band.

Let it roll.

You never saw.

You never knew.

Now the whole room

Turns from you.

Chorus 1

Who gets the last laugh?

Who gets the last laugh?

Look at me now.

You thought I'd fall,

You thought I'd go—

You had your moment,

I stole the show.

I came back tall.

I came back strong.

Now watch me—

Watch me—

Steal the show.

Verse 2

You wore your victory like diamonds,

Spoke as though the war was won.

Built a throne from your own stories,

Then believed every one.

Every promise has an echo.

Every shadow keeps the score.

Pre-Chorus 2

You were dancing in the spotlight—

I was walking through the door.

Let the brass breathe.

Let the bass walk slow.

You had your grand entrance—

Now everybody knows.

Chorus 2

Who gets the last laugh?

Who gets the last laugh?

Look at me now.

You thought I'd fall,

You thought I'd go—

You had your moment,

I stole the show.

I came back tall.

I came back strong.

Now watch me—

Watch me—

Steal the show.

Verse 3

You mistook quiet for surrender,

Stillness for defeat.

Thought no applause meant nothing

Was moving underneath.

But patience isn't weakness.

And silence isn't fear.

Pre-Chorus 3

Funny how the truth gets louder

When everybody starts to hear.

I don't need your confession.

Don't need you on your knees.

The sweetest kind of triumph

Is becoming what you couldn't be.

Chorus 3

Who gets the last laugh?

Who gets the last laugh?

Look at me now.

You thought I'd fall,

You thought I'd go—

You had your moment,

I stole the show.

I came back tall.

I came back strong.

Now watch me—

Watch me—

Steal the show.

Verse 4

No blade.

No bullet.

No dirty little game.

You wanted me diminished.

Easy to erase.

Pressure makes a diamond.

Time reveals the cracks.

Bridge

No begging.

No bitterness.

No looking behind.

You kept your little kingdom.

I kept my mind.

You wanted a ruin.

A whisper.

A ghost.

Instead you created

The one you fear most.

Final Chorus

Who gets the last laugh?

Who gets the last laugh?

Look at me now.

Look at me now.

Let the chandeliers glow.

Let the whole band blow.

You had your moment.

You had your show.

I came back tall.

I came back strong.

Now watch me—

Watch me—

Steal the show.

Outro

Drink to the winner.

Drink deep.

Drink slow.

Curtain falling.

Lights down low.

You had your moment.

Now—

Go.
