I'm the one they point their fingers at
I'm the one they love to hate
I'm the one they blame for everything
I'm the face they all berate

I wear the scars
They can't erase
A tale of broken dreams
They paint me
With a darker brush
To hide their own deceit

I'm always the bad guy
The villain in the play
The one they blame
For every heartbreak
The storm cloud in the day
I'm always the bad guy
No matter what I say
The scapegoat in their stories
The one who's led astray

I'm the cause of all their problems.
I'm the cause of all their fears
I'm the cause of fractured emotions
I'm the source of all their tears

I wear the scars
They can't erase
A tale of broken dreams
They paint me
With a darker brush
To hide their own deceit

I'm always the bad guy
The villain in the play
The one they blame
For every heartbreak
The storm cloud in the day
I'm always the bad guy
No matter what I say
The scapegoat in their stories
The one who's led astray

Every story needs a villain
A name to drag through dirt
But the thing they never see
Is how much it can hurt

I'm always the bad guy
The villain in the play
The one they blame
For every heartbreak
The storm cloud in the day
I'm always the bad guy
No matter what I say
The scapegoat in their stories
The one who's led astray

I'll wear their cloak of judgment
Bear the weight of their disdain
In their stories, I'm the darkened hope
The one who takes the blame
Always going round and round
Just like a carousel
I'm always the bad guy
In every story that they tell
