[Intro — Spoken / Whispered]
They told you I was dangerous…
Maybe they were right.
Love me…
Love me…
Love me like a villain.
[Verse 1]
Black leather, silver chains,
Dancing underneath the acid rain,
I don’t hide the scars I’ve earned,
I play with fire, I never burn,
They tell stories, they say my name,
Like I’m the reason hearts go insane,
But you’re still standing at my door,
Begging me for a little more,
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t want a hero, don’t want saving,
Give me something worth craving,
If we’re a beautiful disaster,
Let’s fall faster, faster, faster,
The lights go out, the music’s screaming,
Tell me you love all my demons…
[Chorus]
Love me like a villain,
Like I’m your favorite crime,
Love me like a villain,
Like we’re running out of time,
Love the danger, love the madness,
Love the beauty in the damage,
If I’m trouble, don’t pretend…
You wouldn’t choose me again,
Love me like a villain,
Your villain, your villain.
[Post-Chorus — Chant]
Bad, bad, bad for you,
Still the one you’re running to,
Wrong, wrong, wrong, but true,
Tell me what you wanna do,
Love me like a villain.
[Verse 2]
I’m the headline they warned you about,
The name they’re scared to say out loud,
A little chaos, a little glamour,
A masterpiece made from disaster,
You say you want something innocent,
But you keep chasing my silhouette,
Funny how the world calls me dangerous,
When you’re the one who can’t get enough,
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Don’t want roses, don’t want perfection,
Give me fire, give me obsession,
If they call this a mistake tonight…
Then finally something feels right,
[Chorus]
Love me like a villain,
Like I’m your favorite crime,
Love me like a villain,
Like we’re running out of time,
Love the danger, love the madness,
Love the beauty in the damage,
If I’m trouble, don’t pretend…
You wouldn’t choose me again,
Love me like a villain,
Your villain, your villain.
[Bridge — Dark Breakdown]
Maybe I’m the monster,
Maybe I’m the queen,
Maybe I’m the nightmare,
Living in your dreams,
Maybe I’m the reason,
You’re crossing every line,
Maybe you’re the villain…
Standing by my side,
No angels, no halos,
No pretty little lies,
Just two dark hearts
Under flashing lights,
[Final Chorus — Bigger Vocals]
Love me like a villain,
Like you never learned your lesson,
Love me like a villain,
Like I’m your favorite obsession,
If I’m dangerous, come closer,
If I’m poison, lose composure,
If I’m everything they warned you of…
Why does it feel like love?
Love me like a villain.
[Outro — Whispered]
Everyone wants a hero…
Until the villain walks in.
