Revenge is sweet

I knew if I bided my time, an opportunity would soon arise
To show that I don’t need you now, you’re the one I despise
Claim my revenge, to hurt you just like you hurt me before
To leave you behind and in your face, slam the door!

I played on your ego, told you how much you’d hurt me
That I couldn’t live without you, haunted by your memory
I told you I loved you, that you’re the greatest lover
Explained that never could I want to love another

I told you how much I missed you, that I need you by my side
That having you in my arms filled my with such pride
Flattering your ego always worked whenever I needed something
I just never realised how to exploit it before to gain anything

But you learn form your mistakes, plan how to set things right
Now I can laugh at you, I have learnt to fight
I was feeding you lies and you swallowed them whole
Now I am so powerful because you destroyed my sole

Well I’m the one that’s now hurt you, tell me how does it feel?
Like your whole world has ended, don’t believe anything’s real?
Is your heart split in two, are you dying inside?
Has your heart been ripped out, left open wide?

Are you dreams plagued with nightmares yet you can’t sleep
Are you wanting to kill yourself, does your sole want to weep?
Do you feel empty and numb all of the way through
Has everything you thought real, turned out to be untrue?

That’s how you left me, it’s not very nice to feel that way
I suppose you have realised now those feelings eat you away
I’m glad you came back to me and offered me your heart again
It has allowed me to walk away this time, leaving you in pain!
