"The Villain" lyrics

"The Villain"

I always seem to be my own hero
Justified inside my mind when
You're the one in grief while I got zero
Pain on my side, I know it ain't right

I broke your heart, left it in pieces
Now you're in the dark, and I'm the reason
It's been so hard lookin' in the mirror
'Cause when I do, it all is clear
The only villain here is me

(La-la-la, la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la) the only villain here-here
(La-la-la, la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la)

I didn't recognize my reflection
Not the victim I expected
Nothin' in those eyes screamed "Rejection"
Only lies that I projected, mm-mm-mm-mm

I broke your heart, left it in pieces
Now you're in the dark, and I'm the reason
It's been so hard lookin' in the mirror
'Cause when I do, it all is clear
The only villain here is me

(La-la-la, la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la) the only villain here-here
(La-la-la, la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la) Mm, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

Stole your heart, called myself a vigilante (La-la-la, la-la-la-la)
Like I'm the good guy and you're the baddie (La-la-la)
Now I see scars painted up and down the alley (La-la-la, la-la-la-la)
Where I cut our ties and left you lonely (La-la-la)

I broke your heart, I didn't mean it
Now you're in the dark tryna find the pieces
And it's been so hard lookin' in the mirror
'Cause when I do, it all is clear
The only villain here is me

La-la-la, la-la-la-la (The only villain here—here)
La-la-la, the only villain here-here

I broke your heart, left it in pieces
Now you're in the dark, and I'm the reason
It's been so hard lookin' in the mirror
'Cause now it's clear, the only villain here is me
