[Verse 1]
I was your gold badge
Your favorite name
Held in your hands
Like I could stay
You drew the line
Then pushed me in
Called me the fire
Then lit the skin
I learned your stare
I learned your blame
I wore the bite
I wore the shame
[Pre-Chorus]
So if you want a monster
I can wear that grin
You taught my heart
How to break and spin
[Chorus]
You made me the villain
You made me the villain
So I’ll play the part
Like you wanted, darling
You made me the villain
You made me the villain
Now every scar says
I was yours first, darling
[Verse 2]
I ate your lies
Like medicine
Chased your shadow
Back again
Your pretty truth
Had teeth in it
Your tender hand
Could not commit
I kept my lungs
Inside your storm
You loved me loud
Then loved me torn
Now when I burn
I know your name
I’m not the wound
I’m your flame
[Pre-Chorus]
So if you want a monster
I can wear that grin
You taught my heart
How to break and spin
[Chorus]
You made me the villain
You made me the villain
So I’ll play the part
Like you wanted, darling
You made me the villain
You made me the villain
Now every scar says
I was yours first, darling
[Bridge]
Call it revenge
Call it fate
You built this mouth
And fed my hate
I don’t need grace
I need your gaze
To watch me ruin
What you praised
[Final Chorus]
You made me the villain
You made me the villain
So I’ll play the part
Like you wanted, darling
You made me the villain
You made me the villain
Now every scar says
I was yours first, darling
You made me the villain
You made me the villain
And I know your heart
Still flinches, darling
