From halo to horns

(Intro)

Yeah… (yeah)

They loved me when I was saving ‘em (uh)

Funny how fast that love disappear (gone)

(Verse 1)

I was the hero in the stories they told (they told)

Cape on my back, heart made of gold (gold)

Fighting their wars, carrying they pain (my pain)

Smiling through scars, dancing in rain (still smiling)

They said, “You the one, you the chosen guy” (chosen)

Till I needed help and they let me die (left me)

Shook hands with faith, trusted the lie (uh-huh)

Found out loyalty got a short supply (no love)

I bled for the city, slept in the street (slept outside)

Now they cross the road when they see my feet (switch up)

Every promise broken, every prayer fake (fake)

I gave ‘em my all, they took it and ate (hungry)

(Hook)

I wore the halo, now I wear the scars (scars)

Heart turned cold, I’m seeing red stars (red)

They made a villain out the man they broke (they did)

From saving the world to watching it choke (watch it)

Don’t ask me why I don’t feel the same (don’t ask)

A hero dies slow when nobody stays (alone)

I tried to be good, yeah I played my part (I tried)

Now the villain was born from a shattered heart (heart broke)

(Verse 2)

They only clap when you winning the fight (clap clap)

Disappear quick when you losing the light (vanish)

Every smile came with strings attached (tied up)

Every “family” bond easily cracked (snap)

I was teaching hope how to breathe again (breathe)

While they were sharpening knives for my end (shhh)

Turned my pain into fuel for the fire (gas)

Now my name got fear attached to the wire (say it)

Used to save lives, now I save receipts (proof)

Remember who laughed when I fell in defeat (I remember)

They love the hero, hate the human side (facts)

So I buried that boy, let the monster ride (let it ride)

(Hook)

I wore the halo, now I wear the scars (scars)

Heart turned cold, I’m seeing red stars (red)

They made a villain out the man they broke (they did)

From saving the world to watching it choke (uh)

Don’t ask me why I don’t feel the same (nah)

A hero dies slow when nobody stays (alone)

I tried to be good, yeah I played my part (I tried)

Now the villain was born from a shattered heart (heart broke)

(Bridge)

If loving you means losing me (losing me)

Then I’ll choose the dark, let the truth be free (set free)

You don’t get demons without the pain (no pain)

You don’t get villains without the rain (rain fall)

(Verse 3)

I ain’t evil, I’m awake now (wake up)

Same heart, just a different face now (new face)

I still got love but it come with a blade (don’t test)

Trust been dead since the debts went unpaid (over)

They created this, I just adapted (adapted)

Hero in chains finally snapped it (snap)

If I’m the villain in your bedtime tales (so be it)

Just remember—you wrote me this way (you did)

(Outro)

Yeah… (yeah)

They needed a hero (they did)

But they created a villain (created me)
