Second Story

[Verse 1] We were first-grade kids with our shoes untied Paper crowns and playground fights Thought we’d grow up side by side Guess I lied… Or maybe you did when you changed your mind Now you’ve got two shadows walking you to class They look at me like shattered glass I hear the rumors as they pass And you just laugh… [Pre-Chorus] Didn’t think you’d trade our years For whispers in your newer ears Didn’t think the truth could disappear So fast… [Chorus] I’m just the villain in your new story The one they wrote so you’d ignore me Didn’t know best friends could forget Everything You let them paint me as the problem You didn’t wait, you never stopped them You believed every lie they’d sing About me [Verse 2] They framed me with a smile so sweet Told you things I couldn’t repeat Watched you take their side and leave Without a beat… And I stood frozen like a picture torn You didn’t ask, you didn’t warn Guess loyalty is something worn And easily worn out… [Pre-Chorus] Didn’t think the truth could bend Didn’t think you’d let it end Didn’t think I’d lose a friend This way… [Chorus] I’m just the villain in your new story The one they wrote so you’d ignore me Didn’t know best friends could forget Everything You let them paint me as the problem You didn’t wait, you never stopped them You believed every lie they’d sing About me [Bridge] Do you ever wonder What’s real anymore? Or do their voices thunder Louder than before? You never asked my side of things Guess you were scared of listening… [Final Chorus / Outro] Now I’m the villain in your new story Someone you used to trust completely Didn’t know years could disappear So quickly You let them break the bond we built Left me holding all the guilt Over something I didn’t do But you believed
