[Verse]
Kept my head low, shadow in your glow,
Watched your seeds grow, now I reap what you sow.
Painted smiles, fake trials, we been miles deep,
Counting every step, yeah, I don’t lose sleep.
You thought I was the rock, turns out I’m the blade,
Carved your story up, every chapter I played.
[Chorus]
Surprise, I’m the bad guy, mask off now,
Built you just to break you, don’t ask how.
Plotted every move, tied the strings tight,
Friendship was a front; this is my fight.
[Verse 2]
Years in your shadow, I played my role,
Your highs were my lows, I fed off control.
You showed me the stars, I caged the sky,
Now your wings clipped, watch your dreams die.
Heart cold, ice veins, your tears fuel the flame,
I was your ace, now I’m endgame.
[Bridge]
Call it betrayal, I call it design,
You built the ladder, I cut the line.
Cried wolf so long, but the wolf’s me,
The sheep’s skin’s gone, now it’s time to feed.
[Chorus]
Surprise, I’m the bad guy, mask off now,
Built you just to break you, don’t ask how.
Plotted every move, tied the strings tight,
Friendship was a front; this is my fight.
[Outro]
Your downfall’s my crown, your tears my rain,
Dug the ditch for your trust, now drown in the pain.
Surprise, I’m the bad guy, you never knew,
I wrote your story; this ending’s true.
