Three years deep in your tangled web Played the fool while you played dead I felt it in my bones, yeah I knew that tone Every “I swear I ain’t” on your phone You painted me wild, you painted me wrong Told the whole town I don’t belong Yeah I made mistakes, I ain’t innocent But I never moved like you did, not even close to it You got that double standard stitched in your skin Call me the devil while you live in sin I took the blame, wore the shame like clothes But now the truth finally shows I’m the villain in your story, yeah that’s what you tell While you’re out there chasing anything with a pulse to sell You don’t see faces, you don’t see names Just another heartbeat in your little games But you don’t reach for me like you used to do Guess I lost my shine while I stayed true Now I see it clear, yeah I see your game You made me the villain just to hide your shame You don’t got a type, don’t got a line Breathing’s all it takes and you call it “fine” No standards, no shame, no filter at all Just another number when the night calls And me, I’m the headline in your twisted tale Cheatin’, lyin’, yeah you set that sail Yeah I sent some pics, I ain’t proud of that But I never broke you down like you did me flat Funny how you switch when there’s someone new Cold as hell, like I never knew you Every time you drift, every time you roam I can feel it before you even come home I’m the villain in your story, yeah that’s what you sell While you’re out there acting like you ain’t the hell You don’t see hearts, you don’t see souls Just another fix to fill your holes But you don’t touch me like you used to do Guess I’m just a ghost standing next to you Now I see it clear, yeah I see your game You made me the villain just to dodge your blame And I’m tired, yeah I’m done playing nice Done rolling your lies like loaded dice You broke what we had, then you pointed at me Like I was the storm and you were the sea But storms don’t lie and storms don’t cheat They don’t drag love through the street So go on, tell ‘em I’m the bad dream you knew At least I was real, can’t say that for you I’m the villain in your story, wear it like gold If the truth cuts deep then let it be told You ran through trust like it meant nothing Now you’re left with the echo of your own frontin’ And you still won’t touch me like you used to do Guess I finally see what I meant to you Not a partner, not a love, just a name to blame While you played your part in a dirty game So keep your story, twist it how you please I’m walking out, finally breathing free You needed a villain, yeah I see it now But baby that crown was yours all along
