Let me be the villain

Lyrics:

Let me be the villain in your story,

When you’ve already given all your glory.

Every dream I wished, you made it true,

Every wound I hid, you healed it too.

Our love was perfect, yet it bled,

Not because it failed, but what I said.

I cared too much, that’s how we broke,

Too much love can turn to smoke.

So let me be the one you hate,

The one who walked away too late.

Let me take the blame, not you,

For the promise that we couldn’t stay true.

Only I will know the reason why,

Behind my smile, the tears still lie.

If saving you means losing me,

Then villain’s what I’ll choose to be.

Let me be the tears at night,

The shadow fading from your light.

I’ll keep your heart safe from harm,

Even if I’m the one unarmed.

I saved you both — you and her,

Even if my heart won’t ever stir.

For your peace, I’ll take the pain,

And wear the mask again... again.

Let me be the villain in your story,

If that’s what love must be.
