[Intro] [Short tense trap beat] [Verse 1] [Low register vocal, fast rhythmic, clear enunciation, syncopated] I sit by the bright window pane I trace through the grooves in the wood An empty old chair I thought that we both understood [Verse 2] [Fast rapid fire vocal, clear enunciation, syncopated] The ticking is loud on the wall It's counting the moments you're gone The bitter is strong And somehow I have to move on [Pre Chorus] [Mid register vocal, driving upbeat, building tension] You pulled up the bridge and you turned around You burned all our history right to the ground I didn't hear a warning sound But now the silence is profound [Chorus] [High register vocal, huge anthemic hook, powerful downbeat, massive bass drop, layered backing vocals] I'm the villain! (Yeah, you made me the villain) In a story that I didn't write! I'm the villain! (Yeah, you made me the villain) While you're running away from the light! You chose to be angry, you chose to go cold You left me alone in the freezing unknown You locked every door and you swallowed the key You threw all the anger on me! So I'll be the villain! (Yeah, I'll be the villain) [Verse 3] [Low register vocal, fast rhythmic, clear enunciation, syncopated] I fight with the ghosts in my head I look for the place I went wrong The memory bleeds You punish me all summer long [Verse 4] [Fast rapid fire vocal, clear enunciation, syncopated] I carry the blame for the crime I'm serving the days in my mind The sunlight is warm But you left the summer behind [Pre Chorus] [Mid register vocal, driving upbeat, building tension] You pulled up the bridge and you turned around You burned all our history right to the ground I didn't hear a warning sound But now the silence is profound [Chorus] [High register vocal, huge anthemic hook, powerful downbeat, massive bass drop, layered backing vocals] I'm the villain! (Yeah, you made me the villain) In a story that I didn't write! I'm the villain! (Yeah, you made me the villain) While you're running away from the light! You chose to be angry, you chose to go cold You left me alone in the freezing unknown You locked every door and you swallowed the key You threw all the anger on me! So I'll be the villain! (Yeah, I'll be the villain) [Bridge] [Tempo slows, emotional piano and ambient synths, desperate pleading into hopeful vocal] I could stay mad, I could stay bitter Let all the anger turn me to winter But I have a Savior who carried the weight Who knows I am innocent, knows my estate So if you need a villain to help you move on I'll give you the title, but the anger is gone I'm stepping out of the shadow you cast I'm leaving the script in the past [Chorus] [Explosive soaring vocal release, hopeful anthemic hook, bright piano mixed with massive bass drop, layered backing vocals] If I'm the villain! (Yeah, you made me the villain) In a story that I didn't write Then I'm the villain! (Yeah, you call me the villain) But I'm walking away to the light! If you chose to be angry, if you chose to go cold I won't let it anchor my soul in the unknown You can lock every door and swallow the key But heaven is holding the truth about me! I don't have to be the villain. (No, I'm not the villain) Yeah, I'm just loved and I'm free. [Outro] [Beat fades out slowly into warm piano chords] I am loved I am free
