Bad Guy
It’s not what you think
I didn’t plot my way to the rink
They all accuse me
Of taking poison fruit from the tree
But won’t you listen to my real story
I never achieved all my glory
What I’m left with is a life without meaning
They took that which kept my heart beating
And they think I’m the bad guy
Stealin’ the top of the bill
A whole bunch of lies, it’s not a surprise
They falsely accuse me
They think I’m the bad guy
Hammer my way to the Lille
I’m just some trash, a party to crash
They only abuse me
They think I’m the bad guy
Run far away, sail somewhere nice
You and I could conquer this life
If only things were fair
Slip underground, hide there for weeks
Fill the cracks and plug all the leaks
I can’t escape the stares
They think I’m the bad guy
Plottin’ because I can’t win
Brought someone down to pilfer a crown
That never deserved me
They think I’m the bad guy
Keep me away from your kids
She can’t be okay, let’s throw her away
They laugh and pervert me
They think I’m the bad guy
Dreamin’ of the time I'll spend out of the harsh spotlight
With no one there to tell me I did wrong or right
Dreamed I was the villain in some weird Olympic dream
Now I know that dreams are overrated things
What was the cost, a paradise lost?
You can’t discard what’s already tossed
With nothing left to lose
I gave it a try, well loosely defined
From one point of view I came from behind
I’m no longer confused
[lol]
Well maybe I’m the bad guy
That I never wanted to be
I wasn’t too proud to roll with a crowd
That twisted and turned me
Hey I’m just a bad guy
Forever beyond your reprieve
If that’s what it is, suppose I can live
A lifetime of losing’s fair for such a bad guy
