Don’t Make Me Lyrics
[Intro]
Hm-hm, ah, ah
[Verse 1]
Benefit of the doubt is my weakness
Turning the other cheek to see you less
All of our friends are my army, yeah
Let's say it right: not my fault you got regrets
Heads that tip for hot camera flashes
Bloodied lips, nursing right out the glasses
Diamond, pearl and ruby, all swoon
Can I offer you a little salt for that wound?
[Pre-Chorus]
I've tried to take you lying down
I clarified, tip-toed around
Lines in the sand, clear and defined
But you cross them every time
[Chorus]
Don't make me be the bad guy
Don't make me be the bad guy
Despite all of my foresight
I keep hoping I'll be right about you
But you're my first psycho
So hell what do I know?
I'm new to being the bad guy
No, don't make me be the bad guy
[Verse 2]
Paradise lost, you're fallen from grace
You're cracking my ribs with just one embrace
Your offering's empty, godless and cold
I could read you like a book and it's getting old
Never was built to be this way
But turns out the villain is fun to play
Your Hollywood romance, extra and sappy, but-
Spoiler alert: the ending ain't happy
[Pre-Chorus]
Eggshells crack beneath your feet
The ugly truth is bittersweet
So dress it up in fancy clothes
But we both know how this goes
[Chorus]
Don't make me be the bad guy
No, don't make me be the bad guy
Despite all of my foresight
Keep hoping I'll be right about you
But you're my first psycho
So hell what do I know?
I'm new to being the bad guy
No, don't make me be the bad guy
[Bridge]
No longer a pretty view ahead
Lies did not become us
You became them instead
[Chorus]
Don't make me be the bad guy (Ha, ha, ha, ha, yeah)
Don't make me be the bad guy (Ha, ha, ha, ha, yeah)
Despite all of my foresight (Ha, ha, ha, ha, yeah)
I keep hoping I'll be right about you
But you're my first psycho (Oh ya, yeah, yeah)
So hell what do I know? (Yeah, yeah)
I'm new to being the bad guy (Don't make me be the bad guy)
No, don't make me be the bad guy (Don't make me be the bad guy)
Despite all of my foresight (Yeah, yeah, despite all of my foresight)
I keep hoping I'll be right about you
But you're my first psycho
So hell what do I know? (I know)
I'm new to being the bad guy
No, don't make me be the bad guy (Bad guy)
[Outro]
Hmm
No, don't make me be the bad guy
