[Verse 1]
You walked into my ruin like a sunrise in a graveyard
Laid your gentle fingers on the fault lines of my guard
You kissed the rusted edges, called this poison “holy wine”
Said, “I can handle damage, I just want what’s really mine” You lit a match inside a house already halfway burned
You called my jagged history a map you’d love to learn
You wrapped your pulse around my throat like it was nothing new
Said, “I know what I’m doing, no one made me choose but you”
[Pre-Chorus]
You see the cracks, still tracing hearts in the seams
[Chorus]
You picked the villain, don’t flinch when I confess
I’m the wolf you dressed in white and called “no less”
You’re the halo kneeling right beside my mess
Saving something that was born to burn the rest You picked the villain, I warned you with my eyes
I’m the sharpened edge beneath your lullabies
You’re the only heaven I have ever known
But I’m the fault line shaking up your throne
[Verse 2]
You patched my broken mirror, said the fractures looked like art
But every silver whisper still reflects a blackened heart
You lace your faith around my wrists like it can hold me still
Baby, I’m a landslide that remembers how to kill You say my name like scripture in a room that smells like smoke
Lay your chest against the chamber where the gun has never choked
You trace the scars and call them roads that led you to my door
But darling, there were warnings carved in every one before
[Pre-Chorus]
You see the storm, still dancing bare in the rain
You say my violence is just unloved pain
[Chorus]
You picked the villain, don’t flinch when I confess
I’m the wolf you dressed in white and called “no less”
You’re the halo kneeling right beside my mess
Saving something that was born to burn the rest You picked the villain, I warned you with my eyes
I’m the sharpened edge beneath your lullabies
You’re the only heaven I have ever known
But I’m the downfall built into your bones
[Bridge]
You keep saying, “I can take it, I’ve survived worse storms than you”
But you don’t hear the choir of the ghosts behind my truth
Every promise that I broke is humming low beneath my tongue
Every “I’ll be better” is a noose I’ve always hung You lay your hope across my chest like armor made of light
But I’ve been known to bite the hands that hold me through the night
If you keep reaching for the fire just to prove that you don’t burn
Then don’t look shocked when every lesson has to hurt
[Breakdown – screams lead / call‑and‑response]
(You picked the villain!)
I’m the nightmare in your open arms
(You picked the villain!)
Bleeding halos on your tender palms You said, “I want all of you”
Well this is all of me
Every razor in my ribcage
Every ghost you couldn’t see
[Final Breakdown Hit – scream]
You… picked… the… VILLAIN…
Now live with the mark
[Outro – clean, small]
“You’re my salvation, I’m your slow collapse…..
