Bad Guy

Make me the bad guy... yeah...

Make me the bad guy... if that's what you need to sleep tonight!

Go tell your group chat I was toxic

Leave out the part where you called me at two

Tell 'em I ruined your mental health

While you're wearing my hoodie in your bedroom

Post a soft-launch with somebody new

Just to check if my name’s in your view count

He’s holding your waist at the dinner table

While you’re refreshing my profile right now

You like the sympathy, you like the crowd

You love being the victim when I’m not around

You need me to be the monster in your story

So you don't gotta look at how you let us down.

So make me the problem, make me the villain

Whatever protects the way that you're feeling

If that makes leaving easier tonight...

Make me the bad guy, bad guy

If that's what you need to sleep tonight!

Tell 'em I broke your heart, tell 'em I crossed the line

Make me the bad guy, bad guy

But don't call me drunk when he falls asleep at night

If you really hate me... baby, hate me right!

Make me the bad guy

Whatever gets you through the night.

Bad-bad-guy... yeah, bad-bad-guy

Whatever gets you through the night

Bad-bad-guy... make me the bad guy!

Posting-them-quotes-about-healing-and-peace, but-you’re-stalking-my-page-from-a-burner

Telling-your-therapist-everything-I-did, but-never-admitting-what-you-were

He takes you to places we used to go

He doesn't know you’re just putting on a show

You kiss his cheek for an Instagram flick

Then check if I saw it to make yourself sick

We both know he’s a temporary fix

A placeholder guy just to cover the split

You can rewrite the story, paint me in red

But you’re still thinking about me in his bed.

So make me the problem, make me the villain

Whatever protects the way that you're feeling

If that makes leaving easier tonight...

Make me the bad guy, bad guy

If that's what you need to sleep tonight!

Tell 'em I broke your heart, tell 'em I crossed the line

Make me the bad guy, bad guy

But don't call me drunk when he falls asleep at night

If you really hate me... baby, hate me right!

Make me the bad guy.

Bad-bad-guy... yeah, bad-bad-guy

Whatever gets you through the night

Bad-bad-guy... make me the bad guy!

As long as you hate me, I know that I’m still in your head

The day you stop calling me toxic is the day that we're actually dead

Call me a red flag, call me a narcissist, call me whatever you need...

Just don't call me nothing...

'Cause nothing means you finally moved on from me.

Make me the bad guy, bad guy!

If that's what you need to sleep tonight!

Tell the whole damn world I was wrong every time!

Make me the bad guy, bad guy!

Don't call me late just to say goodbye!

If you really hate me... stop checking if I’m watching you tonight!

Make me the bad guy!

Whatever gets you through the night!

Bad-bad-guy...

You can blame me...

You can hate me...

Just don't pretend you forgot me.
