Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I read the room

Like a weather report

Try to choose

Every word with care

Hold the door

For the weight you carry

Bite my tongue

So you know I’m there

[Pre-Chorus]

Turn my anger into questions

Turn your chaos into calm

Every storm I keep you sheltered

Guess that makes me wrong

[Chorus]

I do the right thing

Say the right thing

Hold your hurt like it’s my own

You twist my kindness into something

Dark enough to throw

I’m the softest target

Hardest blame

Paint me as the cause of pain

I do the right thing

Say the right thing

Somehow I’m the stain

[Verse 2]

I stay late

Cleaning up your damage

Sweep your guilt

Underneath my feet

Smile small

While you rewrite history

Put my truth

On the witness seat

[Pre-Chorus]

Turn my boundaries into daggers

Turn my “no” into attack

Every time I try to leave it

You pull the story back

[Chorus]

I do the right thing

Say the right thing

Hold your hurt like it’s my own

You twist my kindness into something

Dark enough to throw

I’m the softest target

Hardest blame

Paint me as the cause of pain

I do the right thing

Say the right thing

Somehow I’m the stain

[Bridge]

Tell me

How did I become

The reason for your every scar?

Why does every broken promise

Have my face

My name

My heart?

I keep reaching for connection

You keep reaching for a gun

Shoot your doubts into my chest

Call it all “what I’ve done” (oh)

[Chorus]

I do the right thing

Say the right thing

Hold your hurt like it’s my own

You twist my kindness into something

Dark enough to throw

I’m the softest target

Hardest blame

Paint me as the cause of pain

I do the right thing

Say the right thing

But you just see a stain

[Outro]

Doing all the right things

Saying all the right words

Your favorite little villain

In a dress of pretty verbs

Doing all the right things

Till the truth is finally heard
