Poetry

I know I'm the villain in your poetry

I know I'm the villain in your poetry

I know I'm the villain in your poetry

Expresses a commitment the singer did not make, implying they never promised eternal companionship.

Doubts about the longevity of the relationship and questions if it's worthwhile.

You're wasting mine

Or maybe I'm wasting yours?

The singer acknowledges the comfort of the current situation but expresses a sense of responsibility elsewhere, possibly feeling guilty for not fulfilling a different role.

With you right now ain't nice

But I should be out saving lives

Reference to a threat from the partner's uncle and contemplation on how people evolve or grow apart. The singer reflects on being undervalued despite potential greatness.

If I'd ever let you down

I can't wait for him to come prove

It to me when that comes around

See some people they grow together

And some people grow apart

And does your uncle even realize

He's threatening a star?

Reiteration of the perception that the singer is portrayed negatively in the partner's poetic expression.

I know I'm the villain in your poetry

I know I'm the villain in your poetry

I know I'm the villain in your poetry

Continued acknowledgment of being viewed as the antagonist in the partner's poetry.

I know I'm the villain in your poetry

I know I'm the villain in your poetry

I know I'm the villain in your poetry

Recollection of shared moments and a sense of being blamed for relationship issues despite efforts to make life enjoyable. Admits to not experiencing love in the same intense way and being willing to sacrifice love for fame.

And you would show up to the

Movie theatre while I'm working

Wait 'till I get off

We'd waste a little time

In the bathroom stall

So you would never play the blame game

With me when you heard I'm touring

And the truth is I don't

Reflects on past relationships and admits a willingness to prioritize fame over love. Expresses a desire to be seen as a hero rather than just a romantic partner.

I used to fall in love was so outrageous

And the truth is I would give up

Anything including you just to be famous

And I'll be damned if I die as

Your man and not a hero

The one I was destined to be

Acknowledgment of being depicted negatively in the partner's poetry but a determination to be recognized as a hero by others despite this portrayal.

But I'ma be the hero when they notice me

I know I'm the villain in your poetry

But I'ma be the hero when they notice me

I know I'm the villain in your poetry

But I'ma be the hero when they notice me

I know I'm the villain in your poetry

But I'ma be the hero when they notice me
