[Verse 1]
You said I was “too much”
Then you watched me shrink to fit
Held the mirror like a weapon
‘Til I couldn’t see my own skin
Now I’m scrolling through our photos
Like a crime scene
Frame by frame
How’d I give you all my colors
Just to walk away in grey
[Pre-Chorus]
You built the script
Made me the fool
I burned the pages
Changed the rules
You love control
You’re gonna choke
On every line you ever wrote (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m the villain in my own movie
But you’re not the one who moves me
Cut your scene
You don’t get a reprise
Watch me turn cold right in your blue eyes
You made me feel wrong for feeling
Now I got a taste for healing
If I’m the bad guy in your story
Then I’ll wear it like a crown
That’s glory
[Verse 2]
Left your hoodie on the doorknob
Like a warning sign to me
Every thread still screams your name
But it’s losing all its teeth
Your friends still talk in riddles
Ask if we could “work it out”
Tell them I already did that
When I finally walked you out
[Pre-Chorus]
You built the script
Made me the fool
I burned the pages
Changed the rules
You love control
You’re gonna choke
On every line you ever wrote (hey)
[Chorus]
I’m the villain in my own movie
But you’re not the one who moves me
Cut your scene
You don’t get a reprise
Watch me turn cold right in your blue eyes
You made me feel wrong for feeling
Now I got a taste for healing
If I’m the bad guy in your story
Then I’ll wear it like a crown
That’s glory
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to a low
Menacing pulse]
Dark lipstick
Black list
Every red flag that I missed
Now it’s my turn
Plot twist
You don’t get to call this
Wrong girl
Right rage (woah)
Breaking out your gilded cage
You fade out
End credits
I forget you in seconds
[Chorus]
I’m the villain in my own movie
But you’re not the one who moves me
Cut your scene
You don’t get a reprise
Watch me turn cold right in your blue eyes
You made me feel wrong for feeling
Now I got a taste for healing
If I’m the bad guy in your story
I’ll rewrite it
Take the glory
[Chorus]
I’m the villain in my own movie (my own movie)
And I like the way it suits me (yeah it suits me)
This is my life
Not your fantasy
Roll the tape
I’m finally free
You made me feel wrong for feeling
Now I’m the one who’s really dealing
If I’m the bad guy in your story
Then I’ll wear it like a crown
That’s glory (that’s glory)
