I know I'm the villain in your poetry
I know I'm the villain in your poetry
I know I'm the villain in your poetry
I know I'm the villain in your poetry

I never said I’d stay with you like this until the end of time
Sometimes I even wonder if you're wasting mine
Or maybe I'm wasting yours?
And I'm not saying that me laying here with you right now ain't nice
But I should be out saving lives

Your uncle said that he would kill me if I'd ever let you down
I can't wait for him to come prove it to me when that comes around
See some people they grow together and some people grow apart
And does your uncle even realize he's threatening a star?

I know I'm the villain in your poetry
I know I'm the villain in your poetry
I know I'm the villain in your poetry
I know I'm the villain in your poetry

I wasn't perfect but I made life worth it
And you would show up to the movie theatre while I'm working
Wait till I get off, we’d waste a little time in the bathroom stall
So you would never play the blame game with me when you heard I'm touring
And the truth is I don't fall in love the way I used to fall in love was so outrageous
And the truth is I would give up anything including you just to be famous
And I'll be damned if I die as your man and not a hero
The one I was destined to be

I know I'm the villain in your poetry
But I'ma be the hero when they notice me
I know I'm the villain in your poetry
But I'ma be the hero when they notice me
I know I'm the villain in your poetry
But I'ma be the hero when they notice me
I know I'm the villain in your poetry
But I'ma be the hero when they notice me
