Villain

Wake up to an empty bed
Wonderin' if I have some regret
Though I love to be so adored
My story takes a turn for the strange once more

And I swear to myself, was it worth it?
When I could have had it all, I think
But it's okay to be lonely for a day
Because I'd rather set things right, not
Start a fire

And I'll be the villain in your story
And I'll be the villain in your story
And I'll be the villain in your story
Let you have all the love, the power, and
The glory

Secrets and an empty cage
The door's wide open but you can't escape
So instead of the truth, you just give my name
And instead of fighting, I choose to turn away

And I know what it looks like
It looks like I ruined it all
And I know what it feels like
I feel it too
But it's okay to be lonely for a day
Because I'd rather set things right, not
Start a fire

And I'll be the villain in your story
And I'll be the villain in your story
And I'll be the villain in your story
Let you have all the love, the power, and
The glory

'Cause it's not worth it
To wreck a heart, wreck a life
Leave your house, your job
Your kids and your wife

And I'll be the villain in your story
And I'll be the villain in your story
And I'll be the villain in your story
As you turn around and save the day
As you turn around and save the day

I just wanna say
Thank you for the freedom from the pain
Thank you for that last chain
I'm breaking off that last chain
Linking us to whatever we had which was insane
'Cause it was the last chain linking us to misery
Yeah, I can't believe I'm done, I'm done
I won, I won
My blood, my blood
Ain't lost on such a pain
Toxic combination such a game
Not a chance I'll be your protagonist

And I'll be the villain, the villain, the villain
And I'll be the villain, the villain, the villain
And I'll be the villain, the villain, the villain
Let you have all the love, the power, and
Feel like you're winning

And I'll be the villain in your story
As you ride off in the sunset with your happy
Ever after type of ending
And I'll write my own
