[Verse 1]
You walked in green light
With your books held tight
Everybody laughed at your name
But you stood your ground
In a shook-up town
And you wore the bruise like flame
[Pre-Chorus]
I saw your hands
Shaking off the chalk
I saw your eyes
Refuse to talk
[Chorus]
Wicked, wicked, you were never that
Wicked, wicked, they just needed that
You burned so bright
In a borrowed sky
Wicked, wicked, you were never that
[Verse 2]
She was all sharp words
And a broken crown
Trying to keep the walls in line
You were made for leaving
She was made for staying
Both of you running out of time
[Pre-Chorus]
One got blamed
One got praised
Same old game
Different cage
[Chorus]
Wicked, wicked, you were never that
Wicked, wicked, they just needed that
You burned so bright
In a borrowed sky
Wicked, wicked, you were never that
[Bridge]
Tell me who gets called a saint
When the whole town feeds on pain
Tell me who gets left behind
When the story picks a side
[Final Chorus]
Wicked, wicked, you were never that
Wicked, wicked, they just needed that
You burned so bright
In a borrowed sky
Wicked, wicked, you were never that
Wicked, wicked, hear it back
Wicked, wicked, you were never that
