  • 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?

    [Bridge]
    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 its like you never knew me

    [Chorus]
    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
    and 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

    [Bridge]

    [Chorus]

    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

    [Bridge]

    [Chorus]
