Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
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.
[Pre-Chorus]
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.
[Chorus]
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.
[Verse 2]
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.
[Bridge]
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.
[Final Chorus]
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.
[Outro]
Let me be the villain in your story,
If that’s what love must be.
