Villains

(album: The Early Hurts - 2019)

Young and free, we get it so easily
If there is a God watching me
Too for forgiveness so I'll do as I please
Darling, we started so innocently
But violence is all I need
I can't be this way, so there's no saving me

You knew the damn fool when you let him in
But darling I'm an old sinner and I sin to win
And you can walk away now, and I'll count to ten
Or if we could be friends
Then maybe we could play villains

The face I see is straight from a magazine
My fugitive beauty queen
Put back on your mask dear, before the camera sees
We live our life, we dance to the silence, I
Never knew a life so sweet
Now [?] desperado keeps them all down on their knees

You knew the damn fool when you let him in
But darling I'm an old sinner and I sin to win
And you can walk away now, and I'll count to ten
Or if we could be friends
Then maybe we could play villains

I could be your villain
You could be my villain
[?]
We could play villains
No shame, we take no blame
We play with tempting fate
And [?] if that's what you want oh
We lost our saving grace
You gave our game away
There's no way to save us from the fall oh
Don't think twice, you up and left me behind
Now I see the lights outside
'Cause you caught me blind, facing twenty five to life

You knew the damn fool when you let him in
'Cause darling I'm an old sinner and I sin to win
So you can walk away now, and I'll count to ten
Or if we could be friends
Maybe we can play villains
Maybe we can play villains

I could be your villain
You could be my villain (Maybe we can play villains)
[?]
We could play villains
