[Intro]
I’m not the villain in this act and I’m through holding everything back.
[electric guitar solo]
[Verse 1]
I’m sure you’ll take him to all our places.
It’s our footsteps that he traces.
In your cycle of idealization.
Soon he’ll make you the foun-down-dation .
[Chorus]
In your story, I’m always the villain.
I recall needing the physician.
You’ll say what you’ll say - I won’t frown.
In my story, you’re a goddamn clown.
I’ll stand my ground - you’re just a clown!
(You’re such a clown)
[Verse 2]
Your mom will be bold and so loud.
You’ll be overcome by that feeling of proud.
Your dad will say as long as you’re happy -
He is too, now I’m just a face in the crowd.
[Chorus]
In your story, I’m always the villain.
I’m the one - needing a physician.
You’ll say what you’ll say - I won’t frown.
In my story, you’re a goddamn clown.
Standing my ground - you’re just a clown!
(You’re still a clown)
[Grand Bridge]
In every new flame, you stay the same.
Casting out, blame while hiding your shame.
Now he stands where I once stood I bet you even showed him your old neighborhood.
[Bridge slower tempo]
In every new flame, you stay the same.
Casting out, blame while hiding your shame.
Now he stands where I once stood I bet you even showed him your old neighborhood.
[Final Verse]
Your moves stay the same.
(they’ll never change).
You’ve no dignity left to maintain.
Had me thinking I was to blame.
But you’re the one that drove me insane.
[instrumental pause 2 quarter measure]
[Grand Final Chorus full tempo]
In your story, I’m always the villain.
But I needed the physician.
You’ll say what you’ll say - I won’t frown.
In my story, you’re a goddamn clown.
In your story, I’m always the villain.
If anyone knew, not a chance in a million.
[Outro]
No dignity left to maintain.
Had me thinking I was to blame.
You’re the one that drove me insane.
