[Verse 1]
You came out of nowhere with your skills together
So together that you knew you'd be on top forever
People kept telling you that you could do no wrong
But it didn't cross your mind about how long

[Chorus]
'Cause you knew that it would last
So you thought

[Verse 2]
Time and again every move you made seemed right
Couldn't get enough of yourself all day, all night
Everybody around you told you you were precious as a pearl
You thought to yourself
"Maybe I'm the eighth wonder of the world"

[Chorus]
And you knew that it would last
So you thought

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
One day you looked up and the buzz was on someone else
Looked in the mirror and said, "What's wrong?"
As you began to melt
You didn't figure out while you just played and toyed
Somebody was creeping behind you
Now you're standing there null and void
[Chorus]
But you knew that it would last
Or so you thought
Yeah, yeah

[Outro]
So you thought
So you thought
So you thought
So you thought
High and mighty, you thought you were so [?]
But now you know
So you thought
