Villain In Your Story

Have another lyric I wrote, composed, designed cover art and a friend did the vocals because it was a college project. Enjoy I’m looking into putting it on Apple Music and Spotify. Style Dark Pop/Rock Cinematic Male Vocals Calm But Powerful Antihero Emotional Mid Tempo Steady Build, Controlled Intensity “Villain In Your Story” [Verse 1] You tell it like I’m the ghost in your past Like every shadow I cast was meant to last Twist every word, every choice I made Turned all my silence into blame You needed someone to wear the crown Of every time you broke things down So you painted me in black and gold A story easy to be told ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I tried to fight it, tried to explain But you don’t listen—you just rearrange ⸻ [Chorus] So I’ll be the villain in your story If that’s the role you need from me If it helps you sleep at night Thinking I’m the enemy Call me cold, call me cruel Say I broke every rule If it makes it make sense to you Then I’ll be the truth you choose I won’t beg for your mercy I won’t rewrite your glory If I’m easier to hate Then I’ll be the villain in your story ⸻ [Verse 2] You never wanted shades of gray Just something clean to throw away A line to draw, a side to take A simple lie you wouldn’t break But I’ve lived every version of this Every word you’ll twist and twist And I’m done standing in the fire Trying to match your narrative ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] You built your truth on what you fear And I’m not staying trapped in here ⸻ [Chorus] So I’ll be the villain in your story If that’s the role you need from me If it helps you sleep at night Thinking I’m the enemy Call me wrong, call me lost Say I’m everything you crossed If it makes it easier for you Then I’ll carry all the cost I won’t beg for your mercy I won’t rewrite your glory If I’m easier to hate Then I’ll be the villain in your story ⸻ [Bridge] (low, controlled → rising) No, I’m not what you made me I’m just not what you need There’s a difference you don’t see Between your truth and me I don’t need your forgiveness I don’t need your defense I just needed you to listen… But I’m done with that ⸻ [Final Chorus] (bigger but still controlled, not screaming) So I’ll be the villain in your story Let it echo, let it ring If that’s the only way you know How to make sense of everything Call me dark, call me blame Say I set the world in flames But I won’t carry what’s not mine Just to justify your pain I won’t beg for your mercy I won’t rewrite your glory If I’m easier to hate Then I’ll be the villain in your story ——— Do not redistribute, copy, or reuse without permission ©️Ink & Echoes Music, aka myself
