Verse 1
I held your secrets, bit my pride
Said “it’s okay” a thousand times
I gave you light, you loved the glow
But hated me when I said no
Pre-Chorus
They said “be sweet, don’t make a sound”
So I bled quiet, head held down
Guess hearts like mine don’t get respect
They get used up, then left a mess
Chorus
I was soft first, now I’m sharp
Learned the hard way, learned too far
I gave you love, you gave me scars
Yeah, that’s how villains get their start
I was kind first, that’s the truth
Look what kindness turned me into
Post-Chorus (hook)
Mm-mm
Look what it turned me into
Mm-mm
Yeah, look what it turned me into
Verse 2 (short)
I picked you up, you pulled me under
Called it love, I called it thunder
Now I don’t drown, I let it rain
If you get wet, don’t say my name
Pre-Chorus
I tried to save what couldn’t be
Lost every part of me
So if I sound a little cold
That’s just the warmth you stole
Chorus
I was soft first, now I’m sharp
Learned the hard way, learned too far
I gave you love, you gave me scars
Yeah, that’s how villains get their start
I was kind first, that’s the truth
Look what kindness turned me into
Outro (minimal, dark)
I’m not heartless
I’m aware
I was kind
You weren’t fair
