Macbeth

[Verse 1]
I read Macbeth at seventeen in AP Lit
Concerned with simile
And what was on the quiz
I knew Macbeth as the worst man that ever lived
Now when I picture him, I see a frightened kid

[Pre-Chorus]
The more I think of what you've done to me
It feels like self-fulfilling prophecy

[Chorus]
Okay, I'll be the villain you've decided that I am
The giving, then the taking, was it all part of your plan
You were so afraid I'd leave you
That I couldn't stick around the Birnam Wood
Misunderstood, but here's the good
Macbeth don't miss you like she thought she would

[Verse 2]
Don't get me wrong, at first my heart was out my chest
I walked around with open wounds I couldn't dress
But I got easier when I learned selflessness
Is not the same as making yourself less

[Chorus]
Okay, I'll be the villain you've decided that I am
The giving, then the taking, was it all part of your plan
You were so afraid I'd leave you
That I couldn't stick around the Birnam Wood
Misunderstood, but here's the good
Macbeth don't miss you like she thought she would

[Bridge]
So here I stand, an open vein
Behold me now, the monster that you made
If I'm different now, you're why I changed
You broke my heart again, again, again

[Pre-Chorus]
Self-fulfilling prophecy
If you're the victim, what does that make me?

[Chorus]
Okay, I'll be the villain you've decided that I am
You swear I never loved you, but I don't know how you can
You were so afraid I'd leave you
That I couldn't stick around the Birnam Wood
Misunderstood, but here's the good
Macbeth don't miss you like she thought she would
