Lyrics
Best Revenge (S. Mahan)
YEA LOVE, TOOK ME FOR A RIDE THEN LEFT ME IN THE SIDE OF THE ROAD
I TOOK THE SHAME AND I CARRIED THE BLAME TILL YOUR LIES STARTED TO UNFOLD
BUT LOVING AND LOSIN’ THATS JUST ALL ABOUT LIVING
AND ITS MADE ME WHO I AM
BUT RUNNIN’ AND HIDING, THAT’S JUST LAYING DOWN AND DYING
AND I, AINT LIVING LIKE THAT.
SO I POORED A GOOD BEER AND FINALLY STARTED LAUGHIN’
BOUGHT A NEW PAIR OF SHOES, ONES JUST FOR DANCIN’
AND I’M HANGIN’ AROUND SOME OLD FRIENDS
YOU NEVER LIKED BACK THEN.
I’VE BEEN WORKIN’ REAL HARD, BUT PLAYING EVEN HARDER
SINCE I’VE BEEN GONE, I THINK I GOT SMARTER
AND I’M LEARNIN TO LIVE AND I’M BETTER
THAN I’VE EVER BEEN, YEA LIVIN’ WELL
IT’S THE BEST REVENGE.
YEA YOU, TRIED TO MAKE ME STOP TRUSTING
THAT FATE HAD SOMETHING BETTER TO COME
INSTEAD OF LEAVIN I JUST STOPPED BELIEVIN’
AND IT KEPT ME THERE UNDER YOUR THUMB
BUT DIGGIN’ OUT OF DOUBTIN’ THATS JUST ALL ABOUT DEFYING
EVERY WORD YOU PUT INTO MY HEAD
NOW I’M MORE THAN JUST SURVIVIN’ I’M LOVEIN LIFE AND THRIVING, SO I’LL SAY AGAIN WHAT I JUST SAID
SO I POORED A GOOD BEER AND FINALLY STARTED LAUGHIN’
BOUGHT A NEW PAIR OF SHOES, ONES JUST FOR DANCIN’
AND I’M HANGIN’ AROUND SOME OLD FRIENDS
YOU NEVER LIKED BACK THEN.
I’VE BEEN WORKIN’ REAL HARD, BUT PLAYING EVEN HARDER
SINCE I’VE BEEN GONE, I THINK I GOT SMARTER
AND I’M LEARNIN TO LIVE AND I’M BETTER
THAN I’VE EVER BEEN, YEA LIVIN’ WELL
IT’S THE BEST REVENGE.
