Did you really think, I’d just forgive and forget, no After catching you with her, your blood should run cold, so cold You, you two-timing, cheap lying wannabe You’re a fool, if you thought that I’d just let this go
I see red, red, oh red A gun to your head, head, to your head Now all I see is red, red, red
Did you really just say, she didn’t mean anything, oh I’ll remember those words, when I come for your soul, your soul Know that you, you dug your own grave, now lie in it You’re so cruel, but revenge is a dish best served cold
I see red, red, oh red A gun to your head, head, to your head Now all I see is red, red, red
You better run, hide, you’re so done You better sleep with one eye open tonight
I see red, red, oh red A gun to your head, head, to your head Now all I see is red, red, red
I see red, red, oh red A gun to your head, head, to your head Now all I see is red, red, red
