The Villain

(album: Cowboy Tears - 2022)

What are you waiting for?
I can't take anymore
You make me sick to my core
And I've never felt so sure

What do you really need?
I've seen your heart still bleed
Every time I leave
There's nothing else I can see

No there's nothing else I can believe

Please don't make me out to be
Something that I'm not
I tried to give you everything
But so much went wrong

I'm not a villain (Villain)
I'm not a bad guy with a master plan
I'm not a monster (Monster)
So don't say my name when you mention them

We both know that's a stretch
Perfection ain't real, how close can we get?
Fall short and miss by an inch
Love is a battle where nobody wins

Missiles fire back and forth
No one's innocent fighting a war
Everybody plays their part
We both screwed up from the start

We both shot holes in each other's hearts

Please don't make me out to be
Something that I'm not
I tried to give you everything
But so much went wrong

I'm not a villain (Villain)
I'm not a bad guy with a master plan
I'm not a monster (Monster)
So don't say my name when you mention them
