Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 I don’t kick the door, I turn the key I don’t raise my voice, I let you see I learned early what silence does How it makes a room bend just because There’s a heart carved into every blade A love note hidden in the harm I make I don’t rush it, I let it bloom I always arrive before my doom Pre-Chorus You mistook my calm for mercy You mistook my grace for fear But I’ve been studying your weaknesses While you were watching me disappear Chorus I’m the villain you never saw coming Half light, half perfectly wrong I smile like I’m on your side While I’ve known the ending all along Soft hands, sharp edges I don’t need to prove I’m strong By the time you say my name The game’s already gone Verse 2 Ink on my fingers, dust in the air Maps on the wall say I’ve been everywhere I collect the truth like other girls collect gold Every secret you dropped, I still hold I dress like I’m passing through Like I don’t own the room But every step is measured Every loss was assumed Pre-Chorus I don’t chase, I calculate I don’t beg, I wait You call it fate when I arrive I call it timing, perfectly late Chorus I’m the villain you never saw coming Black and white, beautifully drawn I let you think you were the hunter While I watched you walk into my arms Soft hands, sharp edges I don’t need applause or songs By the time you feel the cut I’ve already moved on Bridge I loved once, I learned fast Tenderness makes the deepest glass Now I keep my heart where it can’t be seen Right next to my clarity Say I’m cruel, say I’m cold Say I’m everything you were warned I’d be But history’s written by the ones who win And I write exceptionally Final Chorus (quiet, almost smiling) I’m the villain you’ll study later In the margins, in the footnotes I didn’t burn the world down I just loosened all the bolts Soft hands, sharp edges No crown, no throne I didn’t need to conquer you I just outgrew you—and went home Outro Still smiling. Still silent. Still standing
