Benefit of the doubt is my weakness Turning the other cheek to see less All of our friends on my arm, yeah Let's say it right, not my fault you got regrets It's that tip for hot camera flashes Bloody lips, nice and ripe out the classes Diamond, pearl and ruby, you'll swoon Can I offer you a little salt for that wound? I've tried to take you lying down I clarified, tip-toed around Was innocent, 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 were the psycho So how 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 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 were the psycho So how 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 were the psycho So how what do I know? (I know) Tell me you're the bad guy No, don't make me be the bad guy
