Villain In Their Story

[Intro – soft, emotional]
Yeah…
They don’t know what you did to me…
But they know my reaction…
Ain’t that crazy?

⸻

[Verse 1]
I let you in my space, you disturbed my peace
Talkin’ loud in my home like you paid my lease
Tried to tell me cut my blood off, that’s wild to me
Now I’m the villain in a story they don’t even see

You was yellin’ every day, had me losin’ sleep
Walkin’ on eggshells, I was feelin’ weak
Ten people warned me, I ain’t listen then
Now I’m fightin’ demons I ain’t even let in

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
And I tried to leave quiet, tried to move on clean
But you dragged my name through everything
Now I’m standin’ here alone in the flames
And somehow I’m the one they blame

⸻

[Chorus]
So I cry, cry, cry, yeah it’s been weeks now
Heart heavy, I don’t even feel like me now
They don’t care what you did, just how I react
Paint me black, yeah they paint me all black

I’m the villain in their story, I see it clear
But they don’t know the hell that I lived in here
I just wanted peace, now I’m losin’ my mind
Tryna heal but they rewind me every time

⸻

[Verse 2 – more anger, slight rap flow]
Man I hate how you played me, hate how you switch
Talkin’ to management, actin’ like I’m the glitch
You was toxic, manipulative, loud and mean
Now you got ‘em thinkin’ I’m the drama queen

Came in my world, tried to take control
Now I’m pickin’ up pieces of a broken soul
I defended myself, now I’m “too much”
But you crossed every line, didn’t give a—

(hold back, breathe…)

⸻

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And they laugh while I’m fightin’ just to stay okay
Don’t nobody check what I feel today
Got this anger buildin’ deep in my chest
Tryna stay strong but I’m mentally stressed

⸻

[Chorus]
So I cry, cry, cry, yeah it’s been weeks now
Feel like I’m drowning, can’t even speak now
They don’t care what you did, just how I react
Paint me black, yeah they paint me all black

I’m the villain in their story, I see it clear
But they don’t know the hell that I lived in here
I just wanted peace, now I’m losin’ my mind
Tryna heal but they rewind me every time

⸻

[Bridge – softer, emotional, female vocals]
I regret you… I regret the pain
Never thought I’d ever feel this way
Took my light and turned it into gray
Now I’m just tryna find my way…

⸻

[Verse 3 – reflective, growth tone]
But I ain’t what they say, I know my truth
I survived what you put me through
Yeah I fell, but I’m standin’ still
And I’m learnin’ how to finally heal

You don’t get to break me, no more control
I’m releasin’ all this from my soul
They can talk, they can laugh, that’s cool
But I know one day I’ma win, not lose

⸻

[Outro]
Yeah…
Let ‘em talk…
You know what really happened…
And that’s enough.
