Song Lyrics

I caught you leaving
I was sleeping
With one eye open
I heard the door slam
Cigarette smells in the kitchen
Somethingâ??s burning
I'm not listening to a word youâ??ve said
I couldnâ??t tell you how many times
I almost went away
I couldnâ??t tell you all the things
That I would like to say
I couldnâ??t have you for a moment
And enjoy the day
I couldnâ??t love you
But I gave you everything
And now I ache deep inside
I donâ??t appreciate
I know itâ??s not too late
To figure out my fate
And suddenly I had an epiphany
And I started to bleed
Yeah

Iâ??m such a genius
I donâ??t see this turning my way
I guess Iâ??ll put you in a box
And throw the key away
Iâ??ll try to get in shape
Lose some weight, itâ??s a way
To retaliate, to retaliate
Iâ??m such a genius
I donâ??t see this any other way
I guess Iâ??ll block you out
Forever in my memory
Iâ??ll try to get in shape
Lose some weight, itâ??s a way
To retaliate

And itâ??s the weekend, in the evening
And Iâ??m staring at the ceiling
And I remember
All the reasons, you were cheating
You were keeping thoughts from me
And I had a feeling (I had a feeling)
I had a feeling
No, and I donâ??t appreciate
I know itâ??s not too late
To figure out my fate
And suddenly I had an epiphany
And I started to bleed
To bleed

Iâ??m such a genius
I donâ??t see this turning my way
I guess Iâ??ll put you in a box
And throw the key away
Iâ??ll try to get in shape
Lose some weight, itâ??s a way
To retaliate, to retaliate
Iâ??m such a genius
I donâ??t see this any other way
I guess Iâ??ll block you out
Forever in my memory
Iâ??ll try to get in shape
Lose some weight, itâ??s a way
To retaliate

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
Itâ??s killing me, donâ??t you see, Iâ??m up in arms over you
For all the heartache and the pain you drove me to
Iâ??ll show you

Iâ??m gonna get you back
Iâ??m gonna make you pay
Iâ??m gonna get you back
I will retaliate
