lyrics

I will tell you my life story; it’s a cautionary tale
All the years of guts and glory in the belly of the whale
How my bitter angels fly while my better angels fail...
Oh, my beloved

No fire for revenge led me to play the buzzard’s part
No feud, no broken promise — just a string of broken hearts
And the brokest one was mine, and that’s where my story starts
Oh, my beloved

But I’d be good if I could, but I can’t, so I won’t
I’d be true, say “I do,” but it turns out that I don’t
It’s too late to go straight… guess I’ll just accept my fate
So listen if you’re willin’ to how I became a villain

I was studying the people on the green side of that fence:
And it’s not how much you can do, but how many you convince
And if your teeth are sharp and white, then they will know you’re talking sense
Oh my beloved

So I built a shining tower such that no-one could ignore
And with your name upon my banner, launched my armies off to war
And in only two years’ time, forgot what they were fighting for...
Oh my beloved

But I’d be good if I could, but I can’t, so I won’t
I’d be true, say “I do,” but it turns out that I don’t
It’s too late to go straight, guess I’ll just embrace my fate
So give me headline billing… It’s how I became a villain

I walk the floor all night long
Just wondering how I went wrong…

And I’d be good if I could, but I can’t, so I won’t
I’d be true, say “I do,” but it turns out that I don’t
It’s too late to go straight, guess I’ll just embrace my fate
The story’s worth a killin’ of how I became a villain
