I’d be the villain, doing what the hero won’t dare,
Cross a million seas just to see you there.
I’d fight every battle, break every chain,
Just to bring you peace, even if it meant pain.
I’d destroy my own world, tear down the skies,
Just to see a smile light up your eyes.
I’d walk through hell, face every fear,
All for the chance to keep you near.
I’d fight every monster, slay every beast,
Just to make sure your worries ceased.
I’d rise above it all, break every law,
Just to see you smile, just to hear your laugh.
But you? You wouldn’t do the same for me,
Wouldn’t even cross the room to set me free.
I’d be drowning in storms, searching for you,
But you’d be content in the calm, never coming through.
I gave you my heart, laid it at your feet,
But you ignored it, left me incomplete.
I’d stand in the shadows, ready to fight,
But you never noticed, never saw my light.
I’d become the villain if it meant your dreams,
Shattered my soul, tore at the seams.
But you wouldn’t even bat an eye,
As I tore myself apart, wondering why.
I’d carry the weight of the world for you,
But you never moved, never saw it through.
I’d cross mountains and seas, fight every night,
But you wouldn’t even notice, wouldn’t see the fight.
I’d sacrifice it all, give everything I had,
But in your eyes, I was nothing but sad.
You wanted a hero, someone pure,
But you never realized, I was your cure.
So here I stand, the villain I’ve become,
Chasing a love that never would come.
I’ve crossed every line, I’ve paid every cost,
But in the end, all I’ve gained is the love I lost.
If being the villain means letting you go,
Then I’ll wear this mask, let the truth show.
I’d do it all again if it meant you’d be free,
But I’ll walk away now, and set myself free.
