i have been your hero, up high-- with a cape of silky red
and i've always known what you'd say before those words left your head
to soothe those aching and bleeding wounds has been my purpose
because i've longed to feel your smile upon those pinkish lips
i have been your villain, down low-- with deciet in my eyes
and i've let your questions go unanswered, because all i have is lies
when you have needed me the most, i have turned up absent
because even though my words can be warm, my touch is dorment
you are the victim, taken for granted-- with this languid heart of mine
and you've let me pick you up and then tear you violently apart again
when you are in distress, i'll be the hero to you and heal your freshest wound
because the villain in me is always one step ahead, ready to take you down
