#133 (of 365) "Your Ex-Lover is Dead" Stars

The lyrics make this song. Both sides of a former relationship that was (claimed to be) fleeting for the man, remembered by the woman, who is in a much better place it seems and shoots back with biting verse after biting verse that basically says "revenge is a life lived well". Just brilliant.

God, that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said, "Yes, I think we've met before"
In that instant, it started to pour
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of that time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name

This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
Tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in
Now you're outside me, you see all the beauty
Repent all your sin
It's nothing but time and a face that you'll lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard, I'll send you the news
From the house down the road, from real love
​
Live through this and you won't look back
Live through this and you won't look back
Live through this and you won't look back
There's one thing I want to say so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted, I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save
