Revenge
Hunter Valentine Lyrics

Revenge, it ain't a sweet thing, revenge, it ain't a sweet thing
The act of revenge causes feelings of sickness, shame, anger, and ultimately death, which makes the process not enjoyable.

I heard a rumor today that you were coming my way
The singer has heard a rumor that their offender/betrayer will be coming around soon.

I felt the sickness, the shame, then the anger
The singer experienced several emotions upon hearing the news - first, they felt sick, then ashamed, and finally, angry.

You saw my faith in you bend, it was a means to your end
The offender took advantage of the singer's trust, knowing it would benefit them in some way.

And when you said I was blind, I believed you
The offender made the singer feel stupid or lacking sight, and therefore, the singer believed them.

And when you laughed as I bled, I swore that there would be death
The offender not only made fun of the singer, but they also hurt them physically, prompting the singer to vow for revenge at any cost.

I guess that revenge, it ain't such a sweet thing
Despite the strong feelings of anger and a thirst for revenge, the singer realizes that the process of enacting revenge can bring about negative outcomes.

I thought you knew you were my best friend
The singer thought that the offender was their closest friend.

I thought our trust would stick it out to the end
The singer believed that their trust in the offender was strong enough to last until forever.

You took my love for granted, you said I wasn't worth it
The offender didn't value the singer's feelings and repeatedly dismissed them, making them feel insignificant.

You said I was so lovesick, looks like I'm coming after you
The offender made fun of the singer's loving nature, and now the singer intends to seek revenge.

For everything that you took from that last hostile look
The singer has been keeping a tally of all the hurtful and harmful actions the offender has committed, including the last hostile look they received.

I knew my mission was made with a mark
The singer was determined to take revenge, and they knew exactly how and where to attack.

I watched your face as you slept, those vicious secrets I kept
The singer has been gathering information about the offender secretly and watching them closely, knowing where the offender's weak points lie.

You showed your colors, now it's hard to hide
The offender's true form, that the singer has known all along, is now being revealed to everyone else.

So look who's laughing loud now, I got that feeling of power
The singer is relishing the power that comes with revenge, now that they have successfully attacked the offender.

Let me show you something that you don't know about yourself
The singer is ready to reveal something about the offender that themselves and possibly others, are not aware of.

This burning feeling is about to get hot like hell
The feeling of revenge is growing and going to be very intense.

The consequence of what you did about to be revealed
The offender is about to face the consequences of their actions.

This deal that you made with me is about to be sealed
The singer had made some kind of agreement with the offender, and it looks like the offender is about to face the repercussions of breaking that deal.
