(Verse 1)
I was the secret you whispered,
The shadow you hid in your pride,
A trophy in a closet,
A truth you could never confide.
You smiled in the sunlight,
But I lived in your shade,
Funny how the villain
Is the one you betrayed.
(Pre-Chorus)
Every tale needs a darkness,
Every play a fall,
But in your story, darling,
I never had a call.
(Chorus)
I’m the villain in your story,
The thunder behind your calm,
The sin you couldn’t own,
The truth you called harm.
I wore the crown of shame you wrote,
A hero in my own skin,
But in the chapters you rewrote,
I’m the villain, again.
(Verse 2)
Remember when the spotlight
Caught the cracks in your crown?
You said it was my fault
The world came crashing down.
Toxic whispers in the hallway,
Blame on the one who stayed,
Funny how the villain
Is the friend you betrayed.
(Pre-Chorus)
Every mirror tells a story,
Every scar has a name,
But you wrote me in shadows
And hid behind your flame.
(Chorus)
I’m the villain in your story,
The thunder behind your calm,
The sin you couldn’t own,
The truth you called harm.
I wore the crown of shame you wrote,
A hero in my own skin,
But in the chapters you rewrote,
I’m the villain, again.
(Bridge )
You said I was disgusting,
A nightmare dressed in silk,
But you never knew the courage
It takes to spill my milk.
In sequins and glitter,
I find the man I can be,
The villain in your story
Is the hero in me.
(Chorus (Final / Emotional Climax))
I’m the villain in your story,
The thunder behind your calm,
The sin you couldn’t own,
The truth you called harm.
I wore the crown of shame you wrote,
A hero in my own skin,
And in the chapters you rewrote,
I’m the villain, but I win.
(Outro)
Call me what you want,
I’ve learned to stand alone
The villain in your story,
The truth, we both know.
