Villain In Your Story

[Verse 1]
You said I twisted every word
Then told them I was dangerous
Funny how you drew the line
Right through us
You keep the halo
Keep your crown
I’ll take the blame you love to throw
You made a monster out of hurt
And let me grow
[Pre-Chorus]
You needed someone you could burn
To feel like you were holy
You wrote the ending first
And colored me unworthy
[Chorus]
If I’m the villain in your story
Go on
Paint me black and gory
Tell them all the things I “did”
Leave out every time you hid
If I’m the villain in your memory
Wear your scars like some award piece
Turn my love into a crime
But I was yours the whole damn time
[Verse 2]
You practice lines in front of friends
How I was cold
How I was cruel
Forget the nights I held your hands
And broke myself to comfort you
You spin your tales
You get your gasps
I hear my name and feel the knives
Guess every hero that you play
Needs one bad guy
[Pre-Chorus]
You needed thunder in your sky
To make your sunshine brighter
So you put shadows in my eyes
And called me the liar
[Chorus]
If I’m the villain in your story
Go on
Paint me black and gory
Tell them all the things I “did”
Leave out every time you hid
If I’m the villain in your memory
Wear your scars like some award piece
Turn my love into a crime
But I was yours the whole damn time
[Bridge]
So I’ll sharpen up my edges (oh)
Stop begging for your credit (yeah)
If I’m already cast this way
I’ll steal the final frame
Keep your chapters
Keep your friends
I’ll rewrite how my book ends
You built this mask and named it “me”
Watch who I become
You’ll see
[Chorus]
If I’m the villain in your story
I won’t beg you for your glory
Tell them I was all you feared
While I disappear from here
If I’m the villain in your memory
I’ll turn poison into remedy
You can cling to every lie
I’ll play the part and say goodbye

folk, Shiny dark pop production with female vocals; plucky muted guitars and tight drum groove in the verses, big synth pads and stacked harmonies in the chorus. Pre-chorus lifts with rising toms and filtered vocal layers, then drops into a punchy, hook-heavy chorus. Bridge strips back to vocal and bass, then final chorus hits with extra ad-libs and a bright, polished top line., pop
