[Verse 1]
I try to keep the dark away
But you still see it in my face
I step in front of every fire
You call it danger, I call it desire
[Pre-Chorus]
If you need someone to blame
I don’t mind, I’ll take the name
[Chorus]
I’ll be the bad guy for you
If that’s what you need me to do
Call me the storm in your sky
I’ll take the fall every time
I’ll be the bad guy for you
Even when you know it ain’t true
I’d rather you feel safe tonight
So I’ll be the villain in your eyes
[Verse 2]
I fight the things you never see
Keep all the shadows off your sleep
You think I’m trouble when I stay
But I’m the one who keeps the wolves away
[Pre-Chorus]
If you need someone to blame
I don’t mind, I’ll take the name
[Chorus]
I’ll be the bad guy for you
If that’s what you need me to do
Call me the storm in your sky
I’ll take the fall every time
I’ll be the bad guy for you
Even when you know it ain’t true
I’d rather you feel safe tonight
So I’ll be the villain in your eyes
[Bridge]
If your world needs someone darker
I can hold that weight a while longer
[Final Chorus]
I’ll be the bad guy for you
If that’s what you need me to do
Call me the storm in your sky
I’ll take the hit every time
I’ll be the bad guy for you
Even when you know it ain’t true
I’d rather you feel safe tonight
So I’ll be the villain in your eyes
