I know you love me. I see it every time you stay. You say I'm not the problem, But I feel it either way. You sit there beside me, Like it doesn't hurt at all. But I can hear my name breaking Every time you fall. I don't want to be the villain, But I am when I'm around. Loving me becomes a wound, That won't stop bleeding out. I don't leave because I hate you. I leave because I care. And it's easier to lose me, Than to keep me standing there. You tell me we'll be okay Like you still believe it's true But I'm so tired of watching What this damage does to you I hold you when you're breaking And pretend I don't know why Like I'm not the reason that You're learning how to cry I don't want to be the villain, But I wear the part just fine. I turn into someone else, Every time you call me mine. I don't need you to forgive me. I just need you to be free. So if you have to make me cruel, Then that's what I'll be. Maybe in another life, I'm someone you could claim. But in this one I'm the nightmare, That won't let you dream. I don't want to be the villain, But I wear the part just fine. I turn into someone else, Every time you call me mine. I don't need you to forgive me. I just need you to be free. So if you have to make me cruel, Then that's what I'll be. Maybe one day it won't hurt, To hear my name out loud. But for now I'll be the bad guy, If it keeps you safe somehow.
