You want me to be your villain
You want to make me feel bad because you got caught
Caught with your heart in your hands
I didn't tell you forever
I don't believe in forever anymore
It's a concept best left in fairy tales
Where dreams come true
And I certainly never said regardless
Regardless of what lie you told
Regardless of what secret you kept
Regardless of my own common sense
Don't make me your villain
The horrible witch
The wicked stepmother
The nasty troll under the bridge
I didn't cast a spell on you
I didn't bewitch and mesmerize an unwitting victim
If you fell
You fell by choice
And you did fall
I didn't banish you to the nether regions
Or punish you for an action not your own
That's not my way
You used to know that
I didn't creep out of nowhere
Jump you from behind
Pull you under
Hold you prisoner
If kept me in your heart
It was because you wanted to
Because you longed to
I won't be your villain
Your carbon copy
The new version of the original plague
I didn't hurt you like she did
I didn't shred you for enjoyment
I'm not what you said
Do you really think that
Could you really think that
And claim to have ever loved me
Or can't you control your tongue
Must you lash out
Because I moved on
Let it go
I can't be your villain
The job is already taken
By someone you know
The reflection in the mirror
The shadow on the wall
