[Intro — whispered / distorted]
You wanted a monster…
Should’ve been careful
which one you created.
[Verse 1]
You came with a match to burn me alive,
I learned how to breathe with the smoke in my eyes.
You called me a curse, put a price on my head,
But you looked at my lips when you wanted me dead.
Every blade that you buried in me
Made something beautiful underneath.
Now I wear every scar like a crown,
You built your queen—
Better fucking bow down.
[Pre-Chorus]
You hate the way I get under your skin,
I hate the way I want to get in.
We draw our weapons, ready to fight—
So why are your hands on my waist tonight?
[Chorus — huge vocals]
Go on, make me the villain,
Paint me black, call me wicked.
You can swear that you hate me
While you’re begging for a taste of it.
If loving you’s a death sentence,
Baby, I’ll die magnificent.
You were supposed to be my enemy—
So why the hell do you feel like destiny?
[Verse 2]
Now we’re dancing on the graves of who we were,
Your hands around my throat, my name a slur.
You know every weakness hiding in my bones,
Yet somehow you’re the closest thing to home.
I could ruin you with one little kiss,
You could end me, but you’d rather risk it.
No heroes left, no innocence—
Just two bad decisions losing common sense.
[Pre-Chorus]
Say you despise me, look in my eyes,
God, you’re a beautiful fucking liar.
You came here tonight to finish the war—
Then why’d you lock the fucking door?
[Chorus]
Go on, make me the villain,
Paint me black, call me wicked.
You can swear that you hate me
While you’re begging for a taste of it.
If loving you’s a death sentence,
Baby, I’ll die magnificent.
You were supposed to be my enemy—
So why the hell do you feel like destiny?
[Bridge — quiet → building]
Maybe I don’t want redemption.
Maybe I like what I’ve become.
Maybe you don’t need forgiveness
For falling in love with someone
You were taught to run from.
Whispered:
So run.
[BREAKDOWN — screamed female vocals]
RUN.
I WANT TO SEE YOU TRY.
RUN.
YOU’LL COME CRAWLING BACK TONIGHT.
You made a monster—
NOW YOU WANT HER.
You started the war—
NOW FUCKING SUFFER.
Half-time:
Put your hands…
ON. YOUR. VILLAIN.
[Final Chorus — clean + screamed backing vocals]
Go on, make me the villain,
Give me horns, make me vicious.
If you’re going down beside me,
I’ll make damn sure it’s delicious.
Let heaven call us sacrilege,
There’s no saving either of us.
You were supposed to be my enemy—
(music cuts)
But enemies don’t kiss like this.
[Outro — soft female vocal]
You came to kill the monster…
Then fell in love with her instead.
Whisper:
What does that make you?
