Retaliate

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I caught you leaving, I was sleeping

With one eye open, I heard the door slam

Cigarette smells in the kitchen

Something's burning

I'm not listening to a word you've said

I couldn't tell you how many times

I almost went away

I couldn't tell you all the things

That I would like to say

I couldn't have you for a moment

And enjoy the day

I couldn't love you

But I gave you everything

And now I ache deep inside

I don't appreciate

I know it's not too late

To figure out my fate

And suddenly I had an epiphany

And I started to bleed

Yeah…

Chorus:

I'm such a genius

I don't see this turning my way

I guess I'll put you in a box

And throw the key away

I'll try to get in shape

Lose some weight, it's a way

To retaliate, to retaliate

I'm such a genius

I don't see this any other way

I guess I'll block you out

Forever in my memory

I'll try to get in shape

Lose some weight, it's a way

To retaliate

And it's the weekend, in the evening

And I'm staring at the ceiling

And I remember

All the reasons, you were cheating

You were keeping thought from me

And I had a feeling (I had a feeling)

I had a feeling (I had a feeling)

No, and I don't appreciate

I know it's not too late

To figure out my fate

And suddenly I had an epiphany

And I started to bleed

To bleed…

Chorus:

Yeah…

These are the things that you might go through in my shoes

Call it what you will, it feels so unreal until you lose

It's killing me, don't you see, I'm up in arms over you

For all the heartache and the pain you drove me to

I'll show you

I'm gonna get you back

I'm gonna make you pay

I'm gonna get you back

I will retaliate (x4)
