Villain in Their Story

[Verse 1] They framed my face In that one bad year Froze it like a mugshot Said "This is who you are Clear?" I burned a bridge Yeah I torched it bright You kept the ashes in a box Hold them up to every light [Pre-Chorus] Tell me Do you sleep Pointing at my name? Carved me in your memory As the one to take the blame [Chorus] I'm the villain in their story In a script I didn't write They rewind my worst moment Play it back every night You don't see my hands still shaking From the weight of what I did I'm more than that one wreckage But you talk like I'm still him [solo] [Verse 2] You love that scar You don't want it healed It keeps the world so simple Good and bad All sealed You say I've changed With your fingers crossed You keep my old mistakes Like trophies you never lost [Pre-Chorus] How many times Do I die in your head? You swear that you forgave But you quote what I said [Chorus] I'm the villain in their story In a script I didn't write They rewind my worst moment Play it back every night You don't see my hands still shaking From the weight of what I did I'm more than that one wreckage But you talk like I'm still him [breakdown solo] [Bridge] I did it I own it I carry it I know it But you nail me To that version Won't allow the slightest change in the person If I'm damned anyway What do you want from me? A lifetime on my knees Or can I finally be free? [Chorus] I'm the villain in their story But I'm done learning my lines Tear up that old picture I'm stepping out of the frame this time You don't see my hands still reaching Past the ruins that I hid I'm more than that one wreckage I'm more than what I did [Chorus] I'm the villain in your story Not the one I choose to live You can keep your frozen ending I’ve got better ones to give You don't see my heart still beating Through the guilt and through the hit I'm more than that one wreckage Yeah I'm more than what I did
