Lyrics

Hm-mm, ah

Benefit of the doubt is my weakness
Turning the other cheek to see you less
All of our friends are my army, yeah
Let's say it right: not my fault you got regrets

Heads that tip for hot camera flashes
Bloodied lips smashing right out the glasses
Diamond, Pearl and Ruby all swoon
Can I offer you a little salt for that wound?

I've tried to take you lying down
I clarified, tip-toed around
Lines in the sand, clear and defined
But you cross them every time

Don't make me be the bad guy
Don't make me be the bad guy
Despite all of my foresight
I keep hoping I'll be right about you

But you're my first psycho
So, hell, what do I know? I know
Tell me you're the bad guy
No, don't make me be the bad guy

Paradise lost, you're fallen from grace
You're cracking my ribs with just one embrace
Your offering's empty, godless and cold
I can read you like a book and it's getting old

Never was built to be this way
But turns out the villain is fun to play
Your Hollywood romance, extra and sappy, but
Spoiler alert: the ending ain't happy

Eggshells crack beneath your feet
The ugly truth is bittersweet
So dress it up in fancy clothes
But we both know how this goes

Don't make me be the bad guy
Don't make me be the bad guy
Despite all of my foresight
I keep hoping I'll be right about you

But you're my first psycho
So, hell, what do I know? I know
Tell me you're the bad guy
No, don't make me be the bad guy

No longer a pretty view ahead
Our lies did not become us
You became them instead

(Don't make me be the bad guy)
(Don't make me be the bad guy)
(Despite all of my foresight)
I keep hoping I'll be right about you

But you're my first psycho
So, hell, what do I know? I know
Tell me you're the bad guy (don't make me be the bad guy)
No, don't make me be the bad guy (don't make me be the bad guy)
Despite all of my foresight (despite all of my foresight)
I keep hoping I'll be right about you

But you're my first psycho
So, hell, what do I know? I know
Tell me you're the bad guy
No, don't make me be the bad guy

Mm-mm
No, don't make me be the bad guy
