“LOVE AND REVENGE”

This isn’t us making love
It’s revenge.

It’s too late to change your mind
and you’ve changed your mind
and decided
I want you, you wanted to

But it’s the wrong thing to do
and it’s too late to escape
our fate
I’m not sure either

It’s too soon
It’s too late
unseen by those thoughtless eyes
it is revenge undone

it isn’t love
it’s a mistake
and the one who should see us
isn’t here and
doesn’t care anyway

you’ve got your life
I’ve got mine
and what could he give you
that isn’t in my star sign?

This isn’t what you want
not really me
just to shove someone’s face
the fact you are part of a ‘we’.

This isn’t us making love
It’s revenge.
