Serve Me Right - Fucked Up

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 it’s 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

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
