"The Villain" is my favorite from Oliver Tree's "Cowboy Tears".
I am honestly not the biggest Cowboy Tears guy, but when the good stuff comes on I always blast my volume up to the max; Cowboy Tears is some seriously underrated work by Oliver Tree and I barely see anyone talking about [The] Villain.

This mix is a mesh of 3 separate versions of the song: The demo, the fan made acoustic mix & the released version.

Lyrics:

What are you waitin' for?
I can't take anymore
You make me sick to my core
And I've never felt so sure

What do you really need?
I've seen your heart still bleed
Every time I leave
There's nothin' else I can see
No, there's nothing else I can believe

Please don't make me out to be
Somethin' that I'm not
I tried to give you everything
But so much went wrong
I'm not a villain (villain)
I'm not a bad guy with the master plan
I'm not a monster (monster)
So don't say my name when you mention them

We both know that's a stretch
Perfection ain't real, how close can we get?
Fall short and miss by an inch
Love is a battle where nobody wins

Missiles fire back and forth
No one's innocent fighting a war
Everybody plays their part
We both screwed up from the start
We both shot holes in each other's hearts

Please don't make me out to be
Something that I'm not
I tried to give you everything
But so much went wrong

I'm not a villain (villain)
I'm not a bad guy with the master plan
I'm not a monster (monster)
So don't say my name when you mention them
