Villains

I held your heart like glass in my hands,

Tried to be careful, tried to understand.

But every choice I made just cut you deeper,

And every promise turned into a whisper.

I still replay the nights we tried,

Two broken truths behind our fragile pride.

I thought love could heal what we never said,

But silence grew thorns around every step.

Guess I'm the villain in your story now,

The shadow you run from, the one you shut out.

I wore my heart out, but it fell apart somehow,

And love became the crime you won't talk about.

It hurts to know our memories turned to worry...

Yeah, I'm the villain in your story.

You paint me dark so your heart feels light,

I understand-you're just trying to survive the night.

But I still treasure the moments we were real,

Even if you call it a wound you'll never heal.

I'm not perfect, but I never meant to harm,

Still you walk away from the echo of my arms.

Maybe the truth is we were both afraid,

And the love we carried wasn't enough to save.

Guess I'm the villain in your story now,

The shadow you run from, the one you shut out.

I wore my heart out, but it fell apart somehow,

And love became the crime you won't talk about.

It hurts to know our memories turned to worry...

Yeah, I'm the villain in your story.

If turning me cold helps you find peace,

If casting me wrong helps your pain release,

Then I'll take the blame, I'll play the part,

Even if I loved you with all my heart.

Guess I'm the villain in your story now,

The ghost of a love you don't speak about.

Maybe someday you'll see how hard I tried-

But heroes and villains are drawn by one side.

I'll carry the truth while you carry the glory...

Yeah, I'm the villain in your story.
