[Verse 1]
How do I begin?
How do I cope?
Some people sin
Some people don't
What we had was thin
So we couldn't survive
Bad times can win
While good things can die

[Chorus]
I was the hero, but you get the glory
Now I'm the villain inside of your story
I was the saint, you used to adore me
Now I'm the villain inside of your story

[Verse 2]
Walking through Heaven
I'm walking through flames
This can't be mended
It won't be the same
Thank you for nothing (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Thanks for the pain (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
If this is what love brings (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Maybe I'll wait (Ooh-ooh, ooh)
[Chorus]
I was the hero, but you get the glory
Now I'm the villain inside of your story
I was the saint, you used to adore me
Now I'm the villain inside of your story

[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh, ooh
I bled, I bled for free
Oh-oh-oh, ooh
Your wretched victory
Oh-oh-oh, ooh
I bled, I bled for free
Oh-oh-oh, ooh
Gave every part of me

[Chorus]
I was the hero, but you get the glory
Now I'm the villain inside of your story
I was the saint, you used to adore me
Now I'm the villain inside of your story

[Outro]
I was the hero, but you get the glory
Now I'm the villain inside of your story
I was the saint, you used to adore me
Now I'm the villain inside of your story
