The Bad Guy

You've always been quiet, holding it inside Words left unsaid, with nowhere to hide You say you don't want to be the bad guy But when I speak up, I'm the one who's left to cry I've been pouring out my heart, breaking my own walls While you stand there, saying nothing at all Now I'm the bad guy for saying how I feel While you keep it locked up, never keeping it real You say the truth makes you seem too cold But silence is the sharpest weapon you hold I'm not the bad guy for needing to know Why love feels so distant, yet so close below You say speaking out just leads to pain So you leave me hanging in the pouring rain I'm not your enemy for needing more But somehow I'm the villain for opening the door I've been screaming into silence, trying to break through While you stay hidden, afraid of the truth Now I'm the bad guy for saying how I feel While you keep it locked up, never keeping it real You say the truth makes you seem too cold But silence is the sharpest weapon you hold I'm not the bad guy for needing to know Why love feels so distant, yet so close below You call it protection, but it's tearing us apart Holding back is what's breaking my heart How can I be wrong for wanting more When you shut me out and close the door Now I'm the bad guy for saying how I feel While you keep it locked up, never keeping it real You say the truth makes you seem too cold But silence is the sharpest weapon you hold I'm not the bad guy for needing to know Why love feels so distant, yet so close below I'm not the bad guy I just need to know Why you shut me out When you should hold me close
