Bad Guy

It wasn't always music

But the times when it was music

Are still the greatest moments in my life

A moment is forever

Forever is a memory

Dimly lit and fading out of sight

And I want mine to be happy

It don't make a damn who's right or wrong

So, how did I become the bad guy in this song?

For better or for worse

Can we just skip the verse where we fuss and fight?

My whole life is music, but you don't get to choose it

It's my song to write

And this one ain't about you

It goes whatever way I want

So, how did I become the bad guy in this song?

I'm the one that held the pen

The misery and the gin

I picked the words, and I turned the melody

I took nothing and made a song

But I held the pen so long it finally turned on me

And I wrote down these words, so I could count the twists and turns

And try to see if I could tell where I went wrong

How did I become the bad guy in this song?
