Every story needs a bad guy
I don't mind being yours
I'm sorry I hurt you
When I slammed the doors
I was trying to keep out
The monster on the other side
He was foaming at the mouth
And I was only trying to hide
I know you think I imagined him
But I saw him plain as day
He took you from me
And I let you slip away
There is no hero in our story
No one to swoop in and save the day
I needed you to fight back
It was us you were trying to save
But you weren't ready for battle
You put up the white flag before it had begun
You thought it was all a game
You thought we were having fun
But I was looking for a warrior
Someone who could handle a sword
Every story needs a bad guy
I don't mind being yours
