“Revenge Is Sweeter (Than You Ever Were)”

Listen here

I saw it in the news
You told me they were wrong
And I stood up for you
‘Cause I believed you were the one

You had all the chances in the world
To let me know the truth
What the hell’s wrong with you?

Are you even listening when I talk to you?
Do you even care what I’m going through?
Your eyes stare and they’re staring right through me
You’re right there but it’s like you never knew me

Do you even know how much it hurt,
That you gave up on me to be with her?
Revenge is sweeter than you ever were

I’m so mad at you right now
I can’t even find the words
And you’re on the way down
I can’t wait to see you burn
You try to make me hate that girl
When I should be hating you
What the hell’s wrong with you?

Are you even listening when I talk to you?
Do you even care what I’m going through?
Your eyes stare and they’re staring right through me
You’re right there but it’s like you never knew me

Do you even know how much it hurt,
That you gave up on me to be with her?
Revenge is sweeter than you ever were
(than you ever were)
Revenge is sweeter than you ever were

Nothing can save you now that it’s over
I guess that you’ll find out when you’re no one
Don’t say you’re sorry now ’cause I just don’t care

Nothing can save you now, nothing
Nothing can save you now, nothing

Are you even listening when I talk to you?
Do you even care what I’m going through?
You’re eyes stare and they’re staring right through me
You’re right there but it’s like you never knew me

Do you even know how much it hurt,
That you gave up on me to be with her?
Revenge is sweeter than you ever were
(than you ever were)
Revenge is sweeter than you ever were

And I don’t know where you went when you left me but
Says here in the water you must be gone by now
I can tell somehow
One hand on the trigger of a telephone
Wondering when the call comes
Where you say it’s alright
You got your heart right

Maybe I’ll sleep inside my coat and
Wait on the porch ’til you come back home
Oh, right
I can’t find a flight

We share the sadness
Split screen sadness

Two wrongs make it all alright tonight

All you need is love is a lie cause
We had love but we still said goodbye
Now we’re tired, battered fighters

And it stings when it’s nobody’s fault
Cause there’s nothing to blame at the drop of your name
It’s only the air you took and the breath you left

Maybe I’ll sleep inside my coat and
Wait on the porch ’til you come back home
Oh, right
I can’t find a flight
So I’ll check the weather wherever you are
Cause I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight
It might be my only right

We share the sadness
Split screen sadness

I called
Because
I just
Need to feel you on the line
Don’t hang up this time
And I know it was me who called it over but
I still wish you’d fought me ’til your dying day
Don’t let me get away

Cause I can’t wait to figure out what’s wrong with me
So I can say this is the way that I used to be
There’s no substitute for time
Or for the sadness
Split screen sadness
We share the sadness
