Verse 1:
They say there’s two sides to every story
One’s all polished up and ones the truth
You write in red letters, call it glory
Holy words hiding what you put me through
You left out when I stayed awake
Trying to fix the mess you made
Held my own just to survive
You left out when I took the blame
Spun my heart to guard you name
Tore me down just to look alive, in their eyes
[Chorus]
Call your friends and call me insane
Paint me the villain, use my name in vain
Tell ‘em that you love me but your heart needs a break
Lose yourself to love me was a chance you couldn’t take
Tell ‘em anything you want, I’m just what you used to want
[Verse 2]
Funny how the truth turns into fiction
When you’re the one holding the pen
You craft a saint out of your contradictions
Rewrite the hurt and call it love again
Left out every night I waited
For a sign you’d finally change
You left out the way you’d vanish
While I carried all the pain
Begging just to hear my name
[Chorus]
Call your friends and call me insane
Paint me the villain, use my name in vain
Tell ‘em that you love me but your heart needs a break
Lose yourself to love me was a chance you couldn’t take
Tell ‘em anything you want, I’m just what you used to want
[Bridge]
Maybe someday you’ll look back and see
Every lie you told was killing me
But I’m done fighting shadows in your storybook
Done being the bad guy every time you look
I found peace in walking away
You found comfort making me the one to blame
[Final Chorus]
Call your friends and call me insane
Paint me the villain, use my name in vain
Tell ‘em that you love me but your heart needs a break
Lose yourself to love me was a chance you couldn’t take
Tell ‘em anything you want—
But now you’re what I used to want
