[Duet: Rowan and Eva] [Intro] [Rowan] I bit my tongue until it tasted like rust Kneeled like a saint because you called it trust Every little scar was another compromise You loved the version that apologized You built your halo out of borrowed light Needed someone wrong so you could feel right I carried every word like it was law ’Til I stopped believing what I saw ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] [Rowan] Go on… rewrite the story Make me wear the blame I don’t need your mercy I don’t need your name ⸻ [Chorus] [Both] If I’m the villain… Say it out loud. You only loved me when I stayed bowed down. You painted me in black— I finally look like me. Now every chain you wrapped around me Hangs like jewelry. Go tell your heroes Heaven closed its gates. I’m done begging love From people fueled by hate. You wanted someone else… She disappeared. Welcome… To my villain era. ⸻ [Verse 2] [Eva] Funny how the truth becomes a crime The second that it doesn’t fit your lines You called it selfish, I called it breathing You called it leaving, I called it healing Every broken promise made me steel Every open wound became a shield I quit trying to survive your version of me Now I get to choose who I will be ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] [Eva] Keep your courtroom. Keep your guilty pleas. I’ve already served the sentence… Now I’m finally free. ⸻ [Chorus] [Both] If I’m the villain… Say it out loud. You only loved me when I stayed bowed down. You painted me in black— I finally look like me. Now every chain you wrapped around me Hangs like jewelry. Go tell your heroes Heaven closed its gates. I’m done begging love From people fueled by hate. You wanted someone else… She disappeared. Welcome… To my villain era. ⸻ [Bridge] [Piano Only] [Rowan] I buried every piece of me… That lived for your approval… I kept shrinking… So everyone else could feel tall… ⸻ [Eva] I’d rather lose the world… Than lose myself again. ⸻ [Silence] ⸻ [Final Chorus] [Both] If I’m the villain… Wear it like a crown. You don’t get to tell me Who I am now. Every scar I carry Looks like victory. Every word that broke me Built what’s left of me. Go tell your heroes I’m beyond repair. If becoming myself Makes me your nightmare… Then welcome… To my villain era.
