[Intro – dark pulse / distant harmonies]
(Oh-oh-oh...) Yeah... (Oh-oh-oh...)
[Verse 1]
Tell me how you sleep at night Knowing what you left behind Painted me in black and white While you rewrote every line
You wear innocence so well Like you're heaven, I’m the fall But the truth behind your smile Is the loudest lie of all
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to stay I tried to fight But every road led to goodbye
[Chorus – huge cinematic drop]
I had to run I had to go I couldn't live inside your show
No more No more
Now everybody thinks they know The story that you sold
So keep on lying Oh-oh-oh Keep on hiding
And somehow I'm the bad guy now The one they talk about
You drew the line You chose the role
And somehow I'm the bad guy now
[Post-Chorus]
Bad guy now Bad guy now
Somehow I'm the bad guy now
[Verse 2]
Only you and I know why Everything fell apart that night
But it's easier to play the saint Than face what's hiding in the light
They don't see the shattered walls Or every time I took the blame
They only hear your version And forget we shared the same pain
[Pre-Chorus]
They judge the smoke They miss the fire
They never saw what happened prior
[Chorus]
I had to run I had to go I couldn't live inside your show
No more No more
Now everybody thinks they know The story that you sold
So keep on lying Oh-oh-oh Keep on hiding
And somehow I'm the bad guy now The one they talk about
You drew the line You chose the role
And somehow I'm the bad guy now
[Bridge – cinematic breakdown]
Say my name Tell your story
Make me wear your crown of blame
But every kingdom built on fiction Falls away the same
(Oh-oh-oh...) Falls away the same
[Final Chorus – biggest]
I had to run I had to go I couldn't live inside your show
No more No more
Let the whole world think they know The story that you sold
Keep on lying Oh-oh-oh Keep on hiding
But I won't carry your shadow now
You chose your truth I found my own
And I won't be your bad guy now
[Outro – distant harmonies]
(Oh-oh-oh...)
I won't be your bad guy now
(Oh-oh-oh...)
Not your bad guy now
