“Villain” is the 9th track on Maisie Peters' debut album, ‘You Signed Up For This.’
Maisie has stated that the song sonically feels like an older sister to track 3 of the album, “John Hughes Movie.” Thematically also, the songs share the notions of a romantic narrative ending in heartbreak, rather...
[Verse 1]
You were sitting right there on the fire escape
And you look into her eyes, said, "I think it's gonna rain"
And I, I feel like screaming
Remember calling me the one and saying, "Don't freak out"
Now you're kissing that girl I shouldn't worry about
How do you think I'm dealing?
[Pre-Chorus]
Of course I wanted you to stay
But you didn't
No, you didn't
No, you didn't
Of course I want you anyway
Course I do
Yeah I do
[Chorus]
Now you're in her room, getting undressed
I curse you on the front of the steps
I'll burn this house, I mean it
If she's the girl of your dreams
The best thing you've ever seen
Well, what does that make me then?
I'm your villain
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, wait, na-na
Oh, wait, I know
I'm your villain
Oh, wait, na-na
Oh, wait, I know
[Verse 2]
Now I'm drunk and I'm mean outside your house
And you said, "This is getting ridiculous now"
Please, I don't need reminding
So I call you selfish
You call someone to get me
Saying, "Jesus Christ, just move on already"
Oh, don't you think I'm trying?
[Pre-Chorus]
Of course I wanted you to change
But you didn't
No, you didn't
No, you didn't
Of course I want you anyway
'Course I do
Yeah I do
[Chorus]
Now you're in her room, getting undressed
I curse you on the front of the steps
I'll burn this house, I mean it
If she's the girl of your dreams
The best thing you've ever seen
Well, what does that make me then?
I'm your villain
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, wait, na-na
Oh, wait, I know
I'm your villain
Oh, wait, na-na
Oh, wait, I know
[Bridge]
(Oh)
Blacked out, babe, and I can't shut up
Whole town's gonna hear how you messed me up
You don't wanna know? Well, that's too bad
Oh, I'm out my mind and I said some shit
But I miss you more than I meant any of it
(Woah)
And isn't that just sad?
[Chorus]
Now you're in her room, getting undressed
I curse you on the front of the steps
I'll burn this house, I mean it
If she's the girl of your dreams
You love her, everyone sees
Well, what does that make me then?
I'm your villain
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, wait, na-na
Oh, wait, I know
I'm your villain
Oh, wait, na-na
Oh, wait, I know
I'm your villain
I'm your villain

Up until this point, a lot of this album is very rash. It’s coming from a place of being hurt and saying, ‘I was right and you were wrong.’ But “Villain” is this moment where there’s a cold shower of realism and you understand that you are not always the hero of the story. It felt like it almost lev...
