Remember the whispers, the laughter behind your hand?
The way you built your castle upon my shifting sand?
You thought you'd left me broken, buried beneath the weight,
But some seeds grow stronger when they're left out in the hate.
(Pre-Chorus)
I simmered in the shadows, watched you climb so high,
Nurtured a rebellion, beneath a tear-stained sky.
Now the tables turning, the tide is starting to flow,
And guess who's got the power to make you reap what you sow?
(Chorus)
Revenge is sweet poison, a slow and subtle sting,
A melody of payback, the silent song I sing.
You thought you'd gotten away, you thought you'd won the game,
But darling, this ain't over, not by a mile, not by a name.
(Verse 2)
I see the worry flicker, behind that practiced smile,
You're starting to unravel, just taking a little while.
The things you used against me, now they're working in my favor,
And every single tremor in your voice, I find a flavor.
(Pre-Chorus)
I simmered in the shadows, watched you climb so high,
Nurtured a rebellion, beneath a tear-stained sky.
Now the tables turning, the tide is starting to flow,
And guess who's got the power to make you reap what you sow?
(Chorus)
Revenge is sweet poison, a slow and subtle sting,
A melody of payback, the silent song I sing.
You thought you'd gotten away, you thought you'd won the game,
But darling, this ain't over, not by a mile, not by a name.
(Bridge)
They say forgive and forget, let the past be gone,
But forgiveness tastes like ashes, when you've been hurt for so long.
Maybe I'm not perfect, maybe I've gone astray,
But watching you now crumble, that's the price you had to pay.
(Chorus)
Revenge is sweet poison, a slow and subtle sting,
A melody of payback, the silent song I sing.
You thought you'd gotten away, you thought you'd won the game,
But darling, this ain't over, not by a mile, not by a name.
(Outro)
Sweet poison, oh so sweet, this victory is mine,
The taste of your defeat, a feeling so divine.
Sweet poison... Sweet poison...
Now you know how I feel.
