Verse 1
I don’t cry when the lights go out
I just smile when you start to doubt
I don’t chase, I let you fall
Watch you break just to feel tall
You call it love, I call it fun
I only run when I’ve already won
Pre-Chorus
You mistake my calm for grace
But I’m patient when I take a life
(Just a little one)
Chorus
I never said I was good
Never promised I’d save you
I do exactly what I should
When I break you, I made you
You wanted fire, you wanted sin
Don’t act shocked when I let it in
I never said I was good
You loved me better when you misunderstood
Verse 2
I wear heaven like a disguise
Sharp teeth hiding in lullabies
I tell the truth when I lie to you
That’s the most honest thing I do
You beg for mercy, I beg for more
I don’t feel bad—I’ve felt bored
Pre-Chorus
You say I’m cold, say I’m cruel
But you crawl back every time
Like it’s ritual
Chorus
I never said I was good
Never promised I’d save you
I do exactly what I should
When I break you, I made you
You wanted fire, you wanted sin
Don’t act shocked when I let it in
I never said I was good
You loved me better when you misunderstood
Bridge
I don’t need a crown or a throne
Just a name you whisper alone
I don’t push—I let you choose
Then I watch you blame the bruise
If I’m the villain in your head
Why do you sleep so well in my bed?
Break (spoken / whispered)
Say it.
Say I ruined you.
Say it wasn’t exactly
what you came here to do.
Final Chorus
I never said I was good
I never begged forgiveness
I gave you exactly what you wanted
Now you call it my sickness
You wanted danger, you wanted truth
I was the lie that still felt true
I never said I was good
You loved me better when you knew
Outro
Don’t pray for me
I bite back when I’m saved
I’m not the devil
I’m the choice that you made
