Love Is The Best Revenge Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was always me, myself, and my guitar
Pulling dreams out the backseat of my car
I would play to fifteen people in the basement in a bar
But that's a start, yeah, that's a start
I wrote a song that got me out of there
The town that looks much better in the rearview mirror
I could hear them singing as I disappeared
It broke my heart, yeah, it broke my heart

[Chorus]
They said I wouldn't make it on my own
But they don't get to write the end
I'm just here to say, "I told you so"
And love is the best revenge
I'm in love with it all again

[Post-Chorus]
I'm just here to say "I told you so"
And love is the best revenge

[Verse 2]
Everybody had the best intent
I didn't think I'd make so many friends
The kind of friends that love you then never see you again
And I can't pretend
They tried to make me something that I'm not
Well, that's all that they wanted and it's all they got
Tell me if there's parts of this that I forgot
Sing it out, sing it out

[Chorus]
They said I wouldn't make it on my own
But they don't get to write the end
I'm just here to say, "I told you so"
And love is the best revenge
I'm in love with it all again

[Post-Chorus]
I'm just here to say, "I told you so"
And love is the best revenge

[Bridge]
Sometimes you have to take the long way home
You have to lose yourself to know you had it all along
And when the lights go low, and you scream so loud
That's when I know

[Chorus]
They said I wouldn't make it on my own
But they don't get to write the end
I'm just here to say, "I told you so"
And love is the best revenge
I'm in love with it all again

[Post-Chorus]
I'm just here to say "I told you so"
And love is the best revenge
I'm in love with it all again
