[Intro]
[Reggae beat with steady bassline]
[Guitar skank]
Yeah, yeah
Listen now

[Verse 1]
You walked in slow, with a secret smile
Wearing clothes that you haven’t worn for a while
You say you’re leaving, moving to the heights
Trading our sunsets for those city lights
A ring on your finger, a man of prestige
You’ve been playing a game, living in a siege
Where did he come from? How’d you pull this off?
You’re a DARK HORSE, girl, don't you dare act soft

[Pre-Chorus]
Everything is changing, everything is new
I’m looking at the stranger who is standing here as you
My best friend, reaching for the stars up above
While I’m still here, caught in the push and the shove

[Chorus]
Oh, you’re a dark horse, galloping away
Into the gold of a brand new day
I’m happy for you, girl, I wish you the best
But there’s a heavy feeling, sitting in my chest
Yeah, you’re moving up, leaving me behind
(Jealousy is a poison, playing with my mind)

[Verse 2]
Now the social ladder is your only view
You’re polished and perfect, everything is new
From the neighbourhood corners to a mansion wall
I’m waiting for the echo when you trip and fall
But wait— tell me this, let me catch my breath
Is he the only one, or is there a depth?

[Bridge]
Does he have a friend? (Does he have a friend?)
Does he have a brother? (Tell me, is he like the other?)
Maybe there’s a chance for a girl like me
To find a little bit of that prosperity
I’m laughing now, but my heart is sore
Wishing I was walking through that same open door

[Chorus]
Oh, you’re a dark horse, galloping away
Into the gold of a brand new day
I’m happy for you, girl, I wish you the best
But there’s a heavy feeling, sitting in my chest
Yeah, you’re moving up, leaving me behind
(Jealousy is a poison, playing with my mind)

[Outro]
[Soft bass fade]
You’re a dark horse
Yeah, you’re a dark horse
Send a postcard home...
(Whisper: Just don't forget me)
[Fade out]
