the villain

I wrapped my arms around his waist

He was 6’2” with a pretty face

And it felt so right under the party lights

I could blame time, I was younger then

And I moved through life living on the fence

But truth be told, I loved the white lie

I didn’t try to warn you, and I’m sorry

'Cause when you said you loved me, I was thoughtless

You watched me blow you off, didn’t stop

You came back for more shots and I'm sorry

I’m sorry

Did you feel it?

The distance

You hate me and it shows

Crushed your heart between my hands

I know that’s just the way that it goes

I didn’t perfect it, the art of letting go

I'm the villain, the villain

The worst you’ve ever known

I still see you round now and then

We’ve got mutual friends from way back when

And you can’t even look me in the eye

I guess that makes a lot of sense

You keep your cards close to your chest

While I find myself taunted by that night

I didn’t try to stop you, and I’m sorry

'Cause when you said you wanted me, I was careless

You watched me blow you off, didn’t stop

You came back for more shots and I'm sorry

I’m sorry

Did you feel it?

The distance

You hate me and it shows

Crushed your heart between my hands

I know that’s just the way that it goes

I didn’t perfect it, the art of letting go

I'm the villain, the villain

The worst you’ve ever known

Did you feel it?

The moment that we could not return

I set fire to your house and then I stood there as it burned

I didn’t perfect it, the art of letting go

I'm the villain, the villain

The worst you’ve ever known

I am the villain, I am the villain

The worst that you have ever

I am the villain, I am the villain

The worst that you have ever known

I am the villain, I am the villain

The worst that you have ever

I am the villain, I am the villain

The worst that you have ever known

You watched me blow you off, didn’t stop

You came back for more shots

And I’m sorry

Did you feel it?

The distance

You hate me and it shows

Crushed your heart between my hands

I know that’s just the way that it goes

I didn’t perfect it, the art of letting go

I'm the villain, the villain

The worst you’ve ever known

Did you feel it?

The moment that we could not return

I set fire to your house and then I stood there as it burned

I didn’t perfect it, the art of letting go

I'm the villain, the villain

The worst you’ve ever known
