Lyric

I want to be around to pick up the pieces

When somebody breaks your heart

Somebody twice as smart as I

Somebody who will swear to be true like you used to do with me

Who'll leave you to learn

That misery loves company, wait and see

I want to be around to see how he does it

When he breaks your heart to bits

Let's see if the puzzle fits, so fine

And that's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet

As I sit there applauding from a front row seat

When somebody breaks your heart like you broke mine

That's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet

As I sit there applauding from a front row seat

When somebody breaks your heart like you broke mine

Like you, like you broke mine

- It's already the end -
