I Never Said I Was Good

(raw, rock, male vocals, indie rock, theme, pop, deep, dark indie pop rock with tense dream-pop pads and sub heavy drops sparse verses and explosive distorted choruses deep crispy raw male vocals screaming layers in the hook bass driven groove with punchy drums and glitchy reverses wide but haunted mix)

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
