about

'Best Served Cold' is the third track from the Souls For Trade EP by Chris Ward. The song is about a love triangle with a sinister twist. A man is driven insane by jealousy of his girlfriend and her new lover. But all is not as it seems, and suffice to say, it doesn’t end well...for any of them.

lyrics

Verse 1
Why did you do this? Why did you lie?
And why does it always have to be this way?
Why didn’t you tell me? Was it something I said?
Why didn’t I see it? Now what can I do?
So all this time, you wanted him not me
Was he your lover? You went behind my back
But not any longer, I see past it all!
I’ll get my own back, he dies today!

Chorus
They say that its eye for an eye
And that vengeance is always sweet
So don’t try to change my mind
I’ll kill you the next time we meet

They say don’t get mad get even
Or so that’s what I’ve been told
So don’t say I didn’t warn you
That revenge is a dish best served cold

Verse 2
Why did you do this? Please tell me why?
And why do you always make it happen this way?
Why didn’t you tell me? Tell me that you cared
I’ve always loved you, and I always will
So all this time, how was I to know?
He was your brother, you weren’t cheating at all
But not any longer, I see past this madness!
No more chances, this is goodbye!

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3
Why did I do it? Why did I kill them?
And why must I suffer? What is wrong with me?
Why didn’t I listen? She was trying to help
And now I’m alone, and they’re both dead
So all along, It was me not them
They weren’t to blame, it was all my fault
But it matters not, I’ll right my sins!
With a gun to my head, I’ll end this thing!
