Villain In Your Chapter

Yeah

You wanted a hero

You wrote me an ending

I tore up the page

I was soft-spoken, small talk, side role

Held my tongue till it turned my mind cold

Played nice, played fair, did what I was told

You took what you wanted, called that "getting old"

You laughed at my limits, said I'd never change

Kept moving the goalposts further out of range

Now I'm back from the ashes, eyes rearranged

Your "once in a lifetime" feeling strange

You drew halos on my name

Turned my kindness into blame

Now the light you loved is gone

All that’s left is what you spawned

I’ll be the villain in your chapter (yeah)

Sharp grin, black suit, cold laughter (ha)

You made the monster that you’re after

Now I write the end, turn faster

You want forgiveness, that don’t factor

You chose the blade, I chose the fracture

I’m not your savior, not your pastor

I’ll be the villain in your chapter

You liked me obedient, quiet, contained

Now I talk back and you call me insane

You fed off my doubt, every flaw you explained

So I cut off the strings, now you taste what remains

[low vocal register] "Ungrateful" [whispered vocals] "dramatic" you mutter and choke

But I learned from each eye roll, jab, little joke

You pushed till the halo slid under my throat

Now I swing with the weight of each word that you spoke

You drew halos on my name

Turned my mercy into chains

Now the script is set on fire

Watch me walk right through the flames

I’ll be the villain in your chapter

Sharp grin, black suit, cold laughter

You made the monster that you’re after

Now I write the end, turn faster

You want forgiveness, that don’t factor

You chose the blade, I chose the fracture

I’m not your savior, not your pastor

I’ll be the villain in your chapter

You said, "Stay small"

I grew fangs instead

You said, "Be good"

I rewrote what that meant

If I’m the nightmare

That haunts you to bed

Remember, you built me

Remember, you bled
