Lyrics:
Better than revenge
Seven hours and still no call
I wait for you
I been out in the freezing cold
Just like I do
Now you say you'll live without me
oh baby, you ain't go a clue
So I'll take all my love away
and watch what you do
I heard you've been running round
asking after my name
Turns out when I kicked you out
Life just wasn't the same
You really gonna stand there crying
stop whining, I ain't got the time
I did everything you asked
and trust me I'm doing fine
You're going home on your own
Cause I lost your number
When I deleted it from my phone
Goodbye, it's better than revenge
I don't want any part of your love
and I sure don't miss your friends
if you wanna see me cry,
then you're wasting your time
'cause goodbye, it's better than revenge
Letters and Old photographs
you posted right to my door
you really think those little things
would leave me wanting you more
I don't want to think about you
no thank you, what's it going to take
you'll live in my memories
in the past you will stay
You're getting drunk on your own
cause you're not the one I call when I pick up my phone
[chorus]
Heartbreak only leads to one thing (Revenge)
And heartbreak only leaves you one thing (Revenge)
But I'm not that bitter,
So I won't do the same
Because revenge is for heartbreakers
but I'm better than revenge
[Chorus]
