The Bad Guy

~ Lyrics ~

Lets face it, displacement 

Gonna take it out on anyone adjacent 

I hate it can’t take it 

Wonder when it’s gonna change can’t fix it 

make me your punching bag 

But I’m not punching back this time 

Half alive inside some how I’ve survived 

As you intensify I feel my life go by 

Wondering why I try 

To make it better even though I know it won’t work 

‘Cause you still take the pain out on me but it still hurts 

So lash out crash out but you’re still burned 

I know ain’t nothing gonna change but I’m still concerned 

That maybe one day soon it’ll consume you 

And you’ll turn me to the bad guy like you used to 

We both know I ain’t done nothing to you 

But I still don’t wanna lose you! 

I watched you bleed

I watched you cry

I don't wanna be

The bad guy

Hold your gun

Take your aim

It’s not my fault but I'll take the blame

Strike the match

Light the fumes

Hold me tight and then cut me loose

All my life I tried, why can’t I be good enough?

Ride until I die, just proving that I do enough 

Swallowed up my pride, takin’ hits to prove I’m tough 

It’s rough, I’ve bluffed, I’ve had enough uh huh

‘Cause I’ve been with you through it all 

I watched you rise, I saw you fall 

I cleaned your cuts, I helped you crawl 

‘Cause when you broke, down I stood tall 

But please don’t give up on me yet 

I know it’s rough, and I know you’re stressed 

And I know you’re really only tryna vent 

But remember that I’m not the reason that you’re bent 

I know that it’s hard but don’t make it harder 

I’m not the bad guy ‘cause I want you better 

I’m not the bad guy ‘cause I pushed you further

I know the truth is hard to hear, but we gotta start here 

I watched you bleed

I watched you cry

I don't wanna be

The bad guy

Hold your gun

Take your aim

It’s not my fault but I’ll take the blame

Strike the match

Light the fumes

Hold me tight and then cut me loose

Hold your gun

Take your aim

It’s not my fault but I’ll take the blame

Strike the match

Light the fumes

Hold me tight and then cut me loose

Hold your gun

Take your aim

It’s not my fault but I’ll take the blame

Strike the match

Light the fumes

Hold me tight and then cut me loose
