Album “In Her Own Lane”: 4. Villain

[Verse 1]
You need to make me the villain in your tale,
A chaotic world you spun, where shadows prevail.
Without a villain, it wouldnโ€™t be complete,
So let it be me, the one you choose to defeat.

But no matter the lies that you try to impose,
The truth remains, despite what you compose.
Iโ€™ll leave you to your story, tangled and wild,
While I walk away, serene and reconciled.

[Chorus]
This isnโ€™t life; itโ€™s a prison cell,
Where Iโ€™m the accused, in your private hell.
Iโ€™m not a criminal, nor am I untrue,
The truth’s unchanged, even when you’re making me a fool

You say you love me, but love isnโ€™t this,
A constant barrage, where peace doesnโ€™t exist.
Despite your attacks, your wild accusations,
Iโ€™ve stood truthfully by your side, without hesitation.

[Verse 2]
I spent countless hours on the phone,
Soothing you while you were out of control
I assured you of love, of faithfulness true,
But your jealousy raged, no matter what Iโ€™d do.

Youโ€™d pause for a moment, with apologies shared,
Admitting your madness, the weight that you bared.
But hours later, weโ€™re back on that track,
A one-way spiral, no turning back.

[Chorus]
This isnโ€™t life; itโ€™s a prison cell,
Where Iโ€™m the accused, in your private hell.
Iโ€™m not a criminal, nor am I untrue,
The truth’s unchanged, even when you’re making me a fool

You say you love me, but love isnโ€™t this,
A constant barrage, where peace doesnโ€™t exist.
Despite your attacks, your wild accusations,
Iโ€™ve stood truthfully by your side, without hesitation.

[Verse 3]
Not running off, not walking away
But faithful to us, day after day
I focus and nurture my soul with creative fire,
Yet in your accusations, I’m manipulative and wild

Youโ€™re addicted to drama, canโ€™t let things be,
So every few days, itโ€™s a nuclear spree.
You shift the blame, you twist the knife,
To play the victim in your destructive vice

[Chorus]
This isnโ€™t life; itโ€™s a prison cell,
Where Iโ€™m the accused, in your private hell.
Iโ€™m not a criminal, nor am I untrue,
The truth’s unchanged, even when you’re making me a fool

You say you love me, but love isnโ€™t this,
A constant barrage, where peace doesnโ€™t exist.
Despite your attacks, your wild accusations,
Iโ€™ve stood truthfully by your side, without hesitation.

[Outtrro]
But this cycle, this torment, has gone on too long,
You knew I’d take you back, no matter how wrong.
You shy away from commitment and play the victim’s card
And use my love and trust to mess with my heart

It’s time for me to take a stand and walk away
To honor my integrity, starting a new day
You can keep your narrative, I’m done with the fight
I’ll lay down my armor and step into the light
