hero-villain duet
valeria garcia and althea holt

{VALERIA}

what are you doing, dear?
aren't you tired?

{ALTHEA}

what are you doing here?
I don't think that you were invited
here you go again, pretending like you love me
when just beneath the surface, you're convince that you're above me

{VALERIA}

dig deep into the past
I've never been one for doing things half-assed
if I'm here to save you, I'll be here forever
just take my hand
I'll be you're knight in shining armor

{ALTHEA}

you think you're a hero?
and they'll tell you you are
so stoic and handsome
and you've come so far

{VALERIA}

you think you're a villain
but I know you're not
under all that angst and anger is

{valeria, ALTHEA}

a beating, human heart
A DYING, BROKEN HEART

{ALTHEA}

hey, what about the lonely little girls?

{VALERIA}

I'm sorry!

{ALTHEA}

what about her monsters who prevailed?

{VALERIA}

I'm sorry!

{ALTHEA}

you never came to save my world

{valeria, ALTHEA}

what about us?
WHAT ABOUT ME?

{VALERIA}

I recognize that you're upset
I know they did you wrong

{ALTHEA}

oh, you know nothing of me

{VALERIA}

but trust me, please believe me
this won't stop the hurt for long
we don't need to end like this
look me in the eyes!

{ALTHEA}

here comes the hero complex

{valeria, ALTHEA}

you call yourself a villain, but we know it's a disguise
I KNOW I'M A VILLAIN, BUT YOU'RE THE ONE WHO LIES

{ALTHEA}

so, you're back at it again
twisting and manipulating every word I've said

{VALERIA}

come on, you know that's not true
I'm just trying to help you
let me help you!

{ALTHEA}

you are not my hero!
you don't know how it felt
what else could you do with the cards that I've been dealt?

{VALERIA}

you are not the villain
you once held my hand

{ALTHEA}

stand up
get out
sometimes things don't go as planned
