[Verse 1]
She packed her bags on a Tuesday
Your hoodie folded on her side
Said
"You been distant for a long time"
I just stared
Tongue tied
My best friend's name on her lockscreen
Their inside jokes I never got
She kissed my cheek like a goodbye
Then called my temper the loaded shot
[Chorus]
You turned me to the bad guy in your story
Told him I was cold and never tried
Used my flaws like camouflage for your own glory
Walked away
Hand in hand
While I cried
If I'm the villain that you needed to feel right
Wear your halo
I’ll stay here in the night
[Verse 2]
Now he's sitting on my barstool
Ordering the drink we used to share
He says
"Man
She told me you were toxic"
But he can't hold my stare
All those nights you came home later
Blamed the office
Blamed the rain
I believed every broken promise
You believed your own campaign
[Chorus]
You turned me to the bad guy in your story
Told him I was cruel and dead inside
Painted over every moment you said you adored me
Erased your fingerprints and left me as the lie
If I'm the villain that you needed to feel right
Keep your halo
I’ll stay here in the night
[Bridge]
One day the truth will knock
When you run out of alibis
When every road you walk
Leads back through all your lies
I won't be there to fix
The mess you made of me
I'll just be the ghost
In the chapters you don't read (yeah)
[Chorus]
You turned me to the bad guy in your story
So you could sleep easy by his side
But every line you twist still echoes something for me
I know the love I gave
I don’t need you to decide
If I'm the villain that you needed to feel right
You keep your halo
I’ll walk out of your night
