My Kind Of Revenge

Murmurs of old insults and assumptions 
Linger in my thoughts as I laugh 
At how wrong they all were about me
As I drink a glass of champagne in my mansion
Listening to the birds outside the window 
Their chirps are the anthem of my peaceful life
One that I worked hard to achieve 
Because I have always believed in me 
Success is the only good kind of revenge 
Because the people who hate you are forced to watch
Your victories on TV and in magazines,
As they sit in their damp apartments with dead careers,
Still bitter about the girl they couldn't destroy 
With their poisonous tongues and seething lips 
If anything, their opposition made me stronger, 
I've turned into a woman, a dazzling star,
That shines for others, one that I'm proud of
That's my kind of revenge.
