Made me Cold

Verse 1

I held the door, I held my tongue

I lit myself just so you’d shine

Gave you my heart like it was nothing

Watched you spend it like spare time

I smiled through every little cut

Said “it’s fine” when it wasn’t

I was soft, I was loyal

Now I’m done being honest

Pre-Chorus

They say be good and you’ll be saved

But angels die the fastest

Every favor went unpaid

So I learned a different language

Chorus

I didn’t wake up evil

You taught me how to be

I was kind for way too long

And got nothing back from me

Now I’m wearing all my scars

Like a crown you couldn’t see

I didn’t choose to be the villain

Kindness made me cold — that’s on you, not me

Verse 2

I picked you up, you pushed me down

Called it love, called it fate

I fed your hunger, starved myself

Still you wanted more to take

I bent until I almost broke

Still you asked me to bend again

Now I’m sharp, now I’m selfish

Guess I learned it from my friends

Pre-Chorus

I tried to save everyone

Lost myself in the process

If this is what surviving is

Then I’ll own the consequences

Chorus

I didn’t wake up evil

You taught me how to be

I was kind for way too long

And got nothing back from me

Now I’m wearing all my scars

Like a crown you couldn’t see

I didn’t choose to be the villain

Kindness made me cold — that’s on you, not me

Bridge

Say my name like it’s a curse

Paint me black, make it hurt

But you loved me when I bled for you

Now you hate me ‘cause I learned

I still feel it, I’m not numb

I just lock it where you can’t reach

I don’t save souls anymore

I save me

Final Chorus (bigger, darker)

I didn’t wake up evil

I just finally got free

If being good means disappearing

I’ll take the enemy

So go ahead and blame the dark

When you’re afraid of what you see

I didn’t choose to be the villain

You made me — now watch me be

Outro

I was kind

You were cruel

Now I’m powerful

And done with you
