You want to be the hero

so badly

You tear apart what's good

So that there's something

to protect him from

You twist and shape his memories

and you whisper in his ear

that you'll make it all okay

But you had to destroy it first

You had to destroy him

to make him believe

that you've saved him

You want to be the hero

so badly

you've become the villain
