It’s rare to find something that’s kind Something that doesn’t change its mind I thought we had that for a while Something steady, something mild You kept looking for the bend Kept turning the dial In every word I didn’t bend Like goodness had a hidden cost Like something pure was almost always lost Pre-Chorus But some people don’t turn Some things don’t burn Chorus The villain, it’s inside you In the things you swear are true Every quiet turned into Something coming for you But no, I was standing right beside you Not a shadow there to haunt you What you thought was breaking through That was just the villain inside you Verse 2 We kept showing up the same Showing up for you Trying to fix what you kept breakin But you kept shifting the blame Misunderstanding the truth And blaming it on your youth That’s the villain inside you Like peace was something you resist I needed a friend the way you did Not a war, just something to pour my good into In the moments that felt safe you kept pushing it away Pre-Chorus Like calm was just a trick Like love was counterfeit Chorus The villain, it’s inside you In the things you hold onto Every silence pulling you Into something untrue But I was never there to fight you Never standing here against you What you thought was always proof Was just the villain inside you Bridge (soft, almost spoken) Maybe peace felt unfamiliar Maybe quiet felt too clear So you filled it with a story Just to have something to fear Now it’s only in your hands What you keep and what you end If it breaks or if it bends If it heals you in the end Outro (tender, resolving) Some things can be good Not a stab in the back I was needing a friend Just like that What you thought was true I know it felt like proof But it was only ever The villain inside you
