Title: Not the Bad Guy- inspired by being banned

(Verse 1)

I walked into the room with my heart on my sleeve,

Thought I’d spread some kindness, thought you’d all believe,

But the whispers turned to shadows, and the light began to fade,

Now I’m standing in the corner, feeling so betrayed.

(Chorus)

I’m not the bad guy, I’m not the villain in this play,

Just trying to be me, in my own imperfect way.

But the world turned against me, painted me in black and white,

Oh, I’m not the bad guy, it’s just a twisted fight.

(Verse 2)

Tried to lift you higher, I was reaching for the stars,

But the words flew like arrows, leaving permanent scars.

You saw the things I did, but you missed the things I said,

Now I’m left to wonder where all the love has fled.

(Chorus)

I’m not the bad guy, I’m not the villain in this play,

Just trying to be me, in my own imperfect way.

But the world turned against me, painted me in black and white,

Oh, I’m not the bad guy, it’s just a twisted fight.

(Bridge)

I’ve worn the blame like a heavy coat,

But I’ll rise from the ashes, I won’t lose hope.

If we could turn the page, find compassion in our eyes,

We’d see the truth behind the story, we’d finally realize.

(Verse 3)

So here’s to the dreamers who dared to take a chance,

To the ones who chase the fire, to the hopeless romance.

I’ll keep my heart wide open, I won’t shut it away,

I’m standing in the sunlight, letting shadows fade to gray.

(Chorus)

I’m not the bad guy, I’m not the villain in this play,

Just trying to be me, in my own imperfect way.

But the world turned against me, painted me in black and white,

Oh, I’m not the bad guy, it’s just a twisted fight.

(Outro)

So if you hear my story, don’t forget who played the part,

I’m just a soul who’s searching, trying to heal my heart.

In the end, we’re all human, it’s a fragile paradise,

Remember, I’m not the bad guy, just roll the dice on life.
