I’m The Bad Guy


I believed you 

And again you told me a lie

But because I’m mad

It makes ME the bad guy

 

I’m not allowed to feel things

You throw the pity party

And when the phone rings 

You want ME to say sorry…

 

Maybe you’re right…

 

I’m sorry baby 

For getting upset

And I won’t get mad

Over the things you regret

 

You say you’ll get better

And this time I’ll trust you

Despite the fact

the last time I did that

Your actions felt like a “screw you”

 

I’m sorry I’m not a robot

I can’t get over it in one night

I’m sorry baby

We ever got into a fight

 

Let’s go around in circles 

And play your silly little game

See who the winner is 

When I leave our place in flames

 

Give me gas and a lighter

And I’ll do just that

Wish I could rewind time

And steal my heart back

 

Remember when things were good?

Yeah, neither do I

I should’ve listened to my heart

When it said you’re not the guy

 

Just remember the next time

You tell me a lie

That you’re sure to also tell me

That I’m the bad guy
