[Guitar Intro – moody / restrained]
(Ooh‑ooh…)
Yeah…
[Verse 1 – intimate, tense]
How can you sit there and lie
When you know the truth?
(Ooh‑ooh…)
Does it make you feel alright?
Or is it just easier for you?
Tell me, do you feel nothing now?
Did your conscience fade somehow?
I guess not… it just went away
(Ooh‑ooh…)
[Pre-Chorus – quiet build]
I tried to stay, I tried to cope
But I was running out of hope
[Chorus – pop‑rock anthem]
I had to leave, I had to go
I couldn’t take it anymore
(No more) — no more
Now they all think that they know
So you can just keep on lying
Oh‑oh… just keep lying
And suddenly I’m the bad guy
Yeah, suddenly I’m the bad guy
[Verse 2 – grittier]
No one knows the truth but you and I
Do you feel nothing inside?
Did your conscience fade somehow?
I guess not… it just went away
(Ooh‑ooh…)
They don’t know what you put me through
Two sides to every story, too
But all they see
Is only you
[Pre-Chorus 2 – stronger]
They judge a war they never saw
And I’m the one they blame it on
[Chorus – bigger / layered]
I had to leave, I had to go
I couldn’t take it anymore
(No more) — no more
Now they all think that they know
So you can just keep on lying
Oh‑oh… just keep lying
And suddenly I’m the bad guy
Yeah, suddenly I’m the bad guy
[Break – half‑sung / tension]
I had to leave
I had to go
I just couldn’t take it — no more
(No more) — no more
[Guitar Solo – emotional release]
[soaring guitar over driving drums]
[Final Chorus – biggest / climax]
I had to leave, I had to go
I couldn’t take it anymore
(No more) — no more
Now they all think that they know
So you can just keep on lying
Oh‑oh… just keep lying
And suddenly I’m the bad guy
Yeah, suddenly I’m the bad guy for sure
[Outro – guitar fade / resolved]
(Ooh‑ooh…)
Yeah…
Tonenico
