Better Than Revenge

So, I was looking over my "Last Kiss" post and it reminded me of the fact that Taylor Swift's song "Better Than Revenge" is a song that, accoridng to Jeff, when I sing it, it reflects something personal. The other day I was listening to music and the song came on while I was Jeff and he said that the way i sang it, with such emotion and vibe, that it seems like a personal song to me. I guess in a way it is, but at the same time i just really LOVE the song!

Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did

Ha, Time for a little revenge

Verse:
The story starts when it was hot and it was summer
And, I had it all; I had him right there where I wanted him
She came along, got him along, and let's hear the applause
She took him faster than you can say sabotage
I never saw it coming, wouldn't have expected it
I underestimated just who I was dealing with
She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum
She underestimated just who she was stealing from

[Chorus]
She's not a saint and she's not what you think
She's an actress, Whoa
She's better known for the things that she does
On the mattress, Whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys on the playground
Won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind,
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge, Ha

[Verse]
She lives her life like it's a party and she's on the list
She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it
I think her ever present frown is a little troubling
She thinks I'm psycho
Cause I like to rhyme her name with things
Sophistication isn't what you wear, or who you know
Or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go
Oh they didn't teach you that in prep school
So it's up to me
But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity

[Chorus]
She's not a saint and she's not what you think
She's an actress, Whoa
She's better known for the things that she does
On the mattress, Whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys on the playground
Won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind,
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge, Ha ha


[Bridge]
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
You might have him, but haven't you heard
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
You might have him, but I always get the last word
Whoa

[Chorus]
She's not a saint and she's not what you think
She's an actress, Whoa
She's better known for the things that she does
On the mattress, Whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys on the playground
Won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind,
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge,

And do you still feel like you know what you're doing,
Cause I don't think you do, Oh
Do you still feel like you know what you're doing
I don't think you do, I don't think you do
Let's hear the applause
C'mon show me how much better you are
See you deserve some applause
Cause you're so much better
She took him faster than you can say sabotage

Now when I relate this song, it's not really to the fact that someone stole my boyfriend, just stole something from me...plus it relates to a bitch haha! ANYWHO I think my favourite lyrics are "She's better known for the things that she does on the matress" and the fact that people think they are "so much better". Also the fact that this person acts like shes "on the list" or, in my words, all that. BUT whatever!

The fact is I love this song and I can relate it in a different way than Taylor uses here. I love this woman, she is just so fuckign talented!!!

Better than Revenging,
