[Verse 1]
My sweet angel
I'm sorry but it's time
For you and I to cut the ties
From bad dreams 'cause they change you
Make you have to realize
That we're here on borrowed time, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Spent long nights alone
Hating myself for the things that I've done
Such a long time ago, I can't remember the details
Since I can't find my soul, I'll just assume that I never had one
I cannot find a song
I cannot right my wrong

[Chorus]
And now I have to be the villain of your story
I don't want to, I don't want to
And now I have to be the villain of your story
Or I'll be a means to your end
A means to your end

[Post-Chorus]
(Woo-ooh)
(Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)
[Verse 2]
Don't need to break through
Hold a mirror to your life
It shows you backwards every time
In too deep to fade through
Baby, it's not like the tides
No, this is not black and white

[Pre-Chorus]
Spent long nights alone
Hating myself for the things that I've done
Such a long time ago, I can't remember the details
Since I can't find my soul, I'll just assume that I never had one
I cannot write a song
I cannot right my wrongs

[Chorus]
And now I have to be the villain of your story
I don't want to, I don't want to
But there's no time for explaining while the building is burning
You just gotta move, and I gotta move
And now I have to be the villain of your story (Woo-ooh, woo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I don't want to, I don't want to (Ooh)
And now I have to be the villain of your story (Woo-ooh, woo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Or I'll be a means to your end (Ooh)
[Instrumental Break: Electric Guitar]
(Woo-ooh)
(Woo-ooh-ooh—)

[Chorus]
And now I have to be the villain of your story
I don't want to, I don't want to
But there's no time for explaining while the building is burning
You just gotta move, and I gotta move
And now I have to be the villain of your story (Woo-ooh, woo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Or I'll be a means to your end (Ooh)
You know I have to be the villain of your story (Woo-ooh, woo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Or I'll be a means to your end (Ooh)
A means to your end
