YOUR FAVORITE ENEMY

You traced your fingerprints Across the bruises on my name

Then kissed me like forgiveness While you fed me to the flames

I learned to wear your silence Like a wire around my throat

Every lie became a language Only you and I could know

You loved me most in pieces When I couldn't leave the room

You called it being honest I called it loving you So paint

the horns above my head And hide the halo underneath

You only need me dangerous To make yourself look clean

Make me your favorite enemy The monster underneath your sheets You hold

me like you need me Then blame me when you bleed Make

me your favorite enemy Put every broken thing on me If loving

you makes me the villain Then that's what I will be

I’ll be what you need

Your favorite enemy

You built yourself a kingdom

From the words I couldn't say

Turned every hesitation

Into evidence and blame

You tell them I was poison But you drank me willingly

You kept me in your bloodstream Then accused me when you couldn't

breathe I watched you play the victim With my blood across your

hands You made a perfect tragedy And gave me all the blame

So sharpen every memory Until it cuts the way you need

You only call me heartless When my heart no longer bleeds

Make me your favorite enemy The monster underneath your sheets You hold

me like you need me Then blame me when you bleed Make

me your favorite enemy Put every broken thing on me If loving

you makes me the villain Then that's what I will be

Was I ever what you wanted Or just someone you could ruin?

Was I ever really human

When your hands were moving through me?

You don't miss the way I loved you You miss having something

to control And I don't know which one scares me more— Losing

you

Or losing what is left of my soul

You made the wound Then called me the disease You pulled the

trigger

Then blamed the blood on me

Say my name Like a curse between your teeth You wanted a

villain

Now look at me

Make me your favorite enemy The shadow you refuse to see

You hold me when you're empty Then bury what you need Make

me your favorite enemy Put every dying dream on me If loving

you made me the villain Then the villain set you free

I was what you needed Your favorite enemy

You made me what you needed Now you're nothing without me

You needed someone guilty So you gave the part to me But

every villain has a story

YOU WERE TOO AFRAID TO REAAAAAAD!
