The Bad Guy Melody

I gave you a chance to reach out to me,
But you chose silence like it set you free.
Sent you my heart in messages, calls, and voice,
You looked at my love and made the coldest choice.
So thank you for that… yeah, thank you for that.

’Cause now I see the fear in me,
Afraid to stand tall, afraid to just be…
Afraid to be “bad,” afraid to say no,
But baby that fear? I’m letting it go.

You hurt me deep, I cried, I snapped,
But I’m done feeling guilty for how I react.
I’m over it now, yeah I’m over you,
Everything I said was painfully true.
So thanks for the silence, the way you withdrew—
That empty space showed me what I had to do.
Be you… be you…
Me? I’ll be the bad guy if that’s what’s true.

The way you think just ain’t aligned with me,
I’m not built for leaving hearts hanging on empty.
I’d never watch someone vulnerable fall,
But you just let me ring and ignored every call.
But hey… that’s you.
And I see it clear too.

I don’t know how you humans move this way,
Playing with hearts like it’s some kind of game.
But I’m learning now, I’m reclaiming my flame—
Even if I’m “bad,” I won’t shrink in shame.

You hurt me deep, I cried, I snapped,
But I’m done feeling guilty for how I react.
I’m over it now, yeah I’m over you,
Everything I said was painfully true.
So thanks for not caring, thanks for the bruise—
Your silence became the push I needed to choose.
Be you… be you…
And I’ll be the bad guy if that’s my truth.

I’m learning to stand in the storm of my choice,
Finding my power, reclaiming my voice.
If “bad” is just finally loving me right…
Then I’ll be the bad guy tonight.
