Lyrics

[Intro]

Are we as bad as them?

Hard to say it

When every mirror in the house

Keeps takin’ their side (yeah)

[Verse 1]

Talkin’ like a legend in my own head

Chest out, actin’ like I’m heaven-sent

But I see the screenshots, words I left read

Hear the quiver in your voice I never answered

In my movie, I’m the one who saves you

In yours, I’m the man you had to live through

I brag about the battles that I “survived”

You remember all the times I watched you cry

I call it “trauma,” call it “character arc”

You call it what it is, just leavin’ you in the dark

I tell my boys I had to cut you for my peace

You tell your girls I was another wolf off the leash (yeah)

[Chorus]

Hero of my story, villain in yours

I kick down “demons,” you call it your doors

I say I was broken, I say I was tryin’

You say that’s the costume I wear while I’m lyin’

Are we as bad as them, or worse in disguise?

Cuz I keep paintin’ halos over all of my lies

I talk like a savior when I tell my side

But in your bedtime tale, I’m the reason you cried (oh)

[Verse 2]

Funny how I edit every memory

Turn the hurt I gave you to a tragedy “that happened to me”

I spin it like I had no choice, like I was forced

But I remember every time I could’ve stopped, and stayed the course

I loved the way you looked at me like I was somethin’ holy

Fed my ego while I slowly turned your world lonely

I call it “bad timing,” “wrong place,” “young age”

You call it what it felt like—livin’ in a cage

Now I’m on the couch tellin’ friends I did my best

You’re in therapy tryin’ to get me out your chest

I wear all my guilt like a fashion piece

You wear all my words like a brand you can’t bleach (yeah)

[Chorus]

Hero of my story, villain in yours

I call it a lesson, you call it a war

I say I was wounded, I say I was blind

You say that’s the anthem of every cruel mind

Are we as bad as them, or worse in disguise?

Cuz I keep paintin’ halos over all of my lies

I talk like a savior when I tell my side

But in your bedtime tale, I’m the reason you cried

[Bridge]

So whose truth wins

The one that rhymes, or the one that stings?

If I’m the monster in your book

Do I get to argue with the ink? (nah)

Maybe I’m just like them

Same sharp teeth in a softer grin

If you’re the one still bleedin’

Do my excuses mean anything?

[Chorus]

Hero of my story, villain in yours

You lock every memory, double the doors

I say I’m “evolving,” I swear that I’ve changed

You say that’s a mask with a different name

Are we as bad as them, or worse in disguise?

Cuz I keep paintin’ halos over all of my lies

I talk like a savior when I tell my side

But in the book you write

I’m the reason you hide (yeah)
