“Villain” by Searows is a song that delves into the internal struggle of someone who worries they may be the source of their own problems and the reason their relationships are falling apart.

[Verse 1]
I guess you thought I could fix the problem
You said, “Tell me all that I’d miss"
I don't know but I'm pretty sure it gets better than this
And maybe I should've stopped believing
But I really wanted to try
Said I’d saved you
While I'm barely staying alive
And I knew it the second you walked the door
Yeah I had a bad feeling
I started a war
I'm gonna fuck it all up
And I’ll probably pay with my life
And I know that you told me
That everything's fine
But I wrote this story before it was mine
And I know there's a villain
But I'm worried it's me this time
[Chrorus]
So fake a better feeling
Take me as I am
At least I'm only making better plans
Turn me into a believer
Make me out as some old healer
I’ll change for the better
And ill even make it last too
For you, for you
For you, for you
For you, for you
For you, for you
Turn me into a believer
I hardly recognize myself either
I’ll change for the better
And I’ll even make it last for you
