Sweet Justice
by Priscilla Ederle Shaw

Your crimes are up
You hold a smoking gun
Killing all the love
Your mercy never comes

You still complain
I’m an emotional disgrace
Counting all the times
You put me in my place

You’re pulling my strings
My button’s getting pushed
Taking me for granted
Like I knew you would

I’m wearing my soul
With a tear on my sleeve
I’ve given my heart
But I don’t get what I need

There’ll be sweet justice
There’ll be sweet sweet justice
There’ll be sweet justice
No more shots in the dark

Sweet justice
There’ll be sweet sweet justice
There’ll be sweet justice
For the hole in my heart

Your time is up
I’m cracking all your codes
Learning all your secrets
I should never know

Protect your fears
By casting only blame
But baby there’s no winner
In this losing game

You’re pulling my strings
My button’s getting pushed
You’re taking me for granted
Like I knew you would

I’m wearing my soul
With a tear on my sleeve
I’ve given my heart
But I don’t get what I need

There’ll be sweet justice
There’ll be sweet sweet justice
There’ll be sweet justice
No more shots in the dark

Sweet justice
There’ll be sweet sweet justice
There’ll be sweet justice
For the hole in my heart

Afraid of moving on I doubted I could leave you
Guess I’ve had enough today
Gathered all my strength to finally rise above you
Started paving my own way
I may never witness the karma you have coming
The consequences you will pay

There’ll be sweet justice
There’ll be sweet sweet justice
There’ll be sweet justice
No more shots in the dark

Sweet justice
There’ll be sweet sweet justice
There’ll be sweet justice
For the hole in my heart
