hero n villan duet
Natalie Chavez
What are you doing, dear? Aren’t you tired?
What are you doing here? I don’t think that you were invited
Here you go again, pretending like you love me
When just under the surface, you’re convinced that you’re above me
Dig deep, into the past, I’ve never been one for doing things half-assed
If I’m here to save you, I’ll be here forever
Take my hand, I can be your knight in shining armor
You think you’re a hero
And they’ll tell you you are
So stoic and handsome
And you’ve come so far
You think you’re a villain
But I know you’re not!
Under all that angst and anger
Is a beating human heart (is a dying broken heart)
Hey, what about the lonely little girls (I’m sorry)
What about her monsters who prevailed? (I’m sorry)
You never came to save my world!
What about me? (What about us?)
I recognize that you’re upset I know they did you wrong
(Oh you know nothing of me)
But trust me please believe me this won’t stop the hurt for long
We don’t need to end like this, look me in the eyes
(Here comes the hero complex)
You call yourself a villain but we know it’s a disguise
(I know I’m the villain, but you’re the one who lies)
So, you’re back at it again?
Twisting and manipulating every word I’ve said?
(C’mon you know that’s not true
I’m just trying to help you, let me help you)
You are not my hero
You don’t know how it felt
What else could you do with the cards that I’ve been dealt
(You are not the villain
You once held my hand)
Stand up, get out
Sometimes things don’t go as planned
