I never really cared what people thought about me
I never thought that I'd be the villain of my story
What I'm made to be isn't who you need; isn't who you need at all
At all
You might've thought that I always forgot the right decision
You might be right, you might be wrong
But I'm making revisions
To the list of the people I have hurt
I'm a demon, don't you touch me, cause you'll always get burned
I'm a dog with a bite, always feeding on my spite
It's a passion burning brighter from the darkness that's inside
Promise me, promise me, you'll never be like me at all
I'll never see my own disease, rotting me down to my soul
(Oh)
The story's dragging on and I can't find the right words
It's missing twists, It's missing turns
I'll take these pages, rip 'em out, and let them burn
If my life's a movie then it's gotta have an ending
Where's the build up to the climax or the heart amending
I need a sign, I need a light (Yeah)
Promise me, promise me, you'll never be like me at all
I'll never see my own disease, rotting me down to my soul
Don't put your faith in me just 'cause
I've walked through the fire
(Is that what you desire?)
I gave up everything just to burn a little brighter.
(Now the flames are getting higher.)
A broken home for myself, locked my soul in a cell
Turned my life into a living disaster
I've seen it all from the top
To the bottom I drop
Nothing to show from my wounds
Just making the bleeding stop
Promise me, promise me, you'll never be like me at all
I'll never see my own disease, rotting me down to my soul
Promise me, promise me, yeah, yeah
Promise me, promise me, yeah
(Yeeeeaaahhh)
I never thought that I'd be the villain of my story
