Villain

I'm playin' the villain, baby, just like you want

Do you remember where we started, love?

The ride was up ahead of us, was steady

But now it's heavy

We looked forward to the twists and turns

But now those twists and turns, they burn so deadly

And, oh, you let me

You let me take the fall for us

And, by the way, go fuck yourself

Do I have your attention now?

Baby, now that I'm not around

I'm the bad guy in your story

But we knew that, don't be boring, oh

Do you need my forgiveness now?

So you can write about someone else

You'll be the hero in the ending

And carry on pretending, oh

And, baby, just for you

I'll be the villain if you want me to

You said I went and broke an oath

But don't you think that's just a bit dramatic?

Don't be tragic

You always liked me better sad

I bet it kills you now that I am happy

Are you happy?

And don't forget, go fuck yourself

Do I have your attention now?

Baby, now that I'm not around

I'm the bad guy in your story

But we knew that, don't be boring, oh

Do you need my forgiveness now?

So you can write about someone else

You'll be the hero in the ending

And carry on pretending, oh

And, baby, just for you

I'll be the villain if you want me to

Villain, yeah

Villain if you want me to

Villain if you want me to

Yeah

I'll go and take the fall for us

I hope someday you find yourself

Do I have your attention now?

Baby, now that I'm not around

I'm the bad guy in your story

But we knew that, don't be boring, oh

Do you need my forgiveness now?

So you can write about someone else

You'll be the hero in the ending

And carry on pretending, oh

But still, I speak the truth

Maybe the villain, it was always you
