Serve Me Right

I knew it wouldn't last It all happened so fast One minute they were so in love The next one she had passed I always had my doubts I figured it all out I knew something was curious When he would talk about How love wasn't a race The guilt writ on his face Right there in black and white I think it serves him right I told you it was him I tell it like it is The story served its purpose Now look what he did I just read the lines The acts were his designs I don't tell him what to do I just tell it back to you And I'll tell you this He killed her with his kiss I think it serves him right I think it serves him right Maybe it was my fault And I deserve to be upset Maybe the price of being wrong Is a lifetime of regret So please tear up my memories Into a thousand little parts Give them to somebody else Who won't tear up my heart (x2) The words are adding up The overflowing cup The leads and the details Are enough to tip the scale Take his life for a refrain Make the verses his domain Put inside of a frame Have him tell the tale again Paper he will serve The correction he deserves A lifetime to recite I think it serves him right Everyone's agreed That David did mislead As he concealed from everyone His crimes and misdeeds More power in the sentence Than power of the word His time into the tenses His actions into verbs It serves him right (Repeat 3rd verse x2) Box up the hopes I had to change I don't want them around Strike a nail into the coffin Put it in the ground If a confession's what you want Then I'm happy to oblige Sing it from the mountaintops I know truth's a lie Throw me to the lions Give 'em a bitter meal An eternity of hurt Couldn't compare to how I feel Or lock me up forever I won't put up a fight I tried to steal a little love from life And I know it serves me right
