The Villain Lyrics by Chris Mallett

Even When I Didn’t Realize

2017

Verse 1 (Chris Mallett)
I know I’m the one that let you go
So why am I the one that feels so low?
Thinking how you’d comfort me
That way you knew I’d need
Mmm, I wish I didn’t have to leave
Didn’t you call my bluff?
You still haven’t hit me up!
Took a stand for the team
But now in the dark there’s no one here with me so
Chorus (Chris Mallett)
Don’t paint me as the villain
And I’ll try to sculpt you the same
We’re missing so much good lovin’
Working to better our names
Verse 2 (April Christine)
I know that I said we could be friends
So why am I filled with this resent?
Love notes spoke of eternity
How secure it all seemed
Oh, how will I go on trusting?
My neglect was unfair to you
And what a catch to lose
In my heart, you’ll always be
So when you see my photo don’t deface me, oh
Chorus (April Christine)
Don’t paint me as the villain
And I’ll try to sculpt you the same
We’re missing so much good lovin’
Working to better our names, oh
Bridge (Chris Mallett, April Christine)
You left me alone
I was working for my future
Got used to being on my own
I no longer knew who you were
You wouldn’t understand
I understand you repeatedly placed
Me at the bottom of your list
You broke my heart
Now please just cease to exist
You know
You know
How I felt ‘bout you!
Chorus (Chris Mallett, April Christine)
Don’t paint me as the villain
And I’ll try to sculpt you the same
We’re missing so much good lovin’
Working to better our names, oh
Chorus (April Christine, Chris Mallett)
Don’t paint me as the villain
I’ll try to sculpt you the same
We’re missing so much good lovin’
Working to better our names, oh
