Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You still drink at the same old bar I still flinch when I pass your car Mutual friends keep trading names Like cigarettes and secondhand blame [Pre-Chorus] You rehearsed that script in your bathroom mirror Tore out the pages where you pulled the trigger Now every room buzzes with your version of me Guess you win if they never see [Chorus] Crooked little stories Falling from your tongue You turned our mess to glory Made me the wicked one You paint my face in shadows Just to keep your halo bright Tell them how you tried your best Leave out how you set the fire Every word you’re selling Makes me the villain you require [Verse 2] You say I left I slammed the door Funny I remember you wanting more Your rough draft heart All crossed-out lines I covered for you every time [Pre-Chorus] Now I hear my name laced through your laughter Like I’m the monster you wrote in after So they don’t notice all that broken glass Stuck in the steps of your careful past [Chorus] Crooked little stories Falling from your tongue You turned our mess to glory Made me the wicked one You paint my face in shadows Just to keep your halo bright Tell them how you tried your best Leave out how you set the fire Every word you’re selling Makes me the villain you require [Bridge] Did you ever choke On that sugar-coated spin? (oh) Do your hands still shake When you swear I did you in? I sleep light But I still sleep Can you say the same at night When you rewrite Rewrite Rewrite? [Chorus] Crooked little stories Dripping off your tongue You turned our wreck to glory Left me coming undone You paint my face in shadows So your reflection stays in light Tell them how you saved yourself Forget who taught you how to fight Go on Keep on telling I’ll be the villain in your eyes Your favorite little villain Built from all your covered lies

Choruses bloom with airy pads, stacked harmonies, and a steady backbeat. Bridge strips back to vocal and keys before a final, emotionally cracked chorus with ad-libbed echoes and wider reverb., female vocals
