Lyrics
The Bad Guy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This is not song about the one that got away
This is not song about the girl who didn't love me
Once again I have made somebody cry
Once again, once again I am the bad guy
I am the bad guy
It's mean but I'm not sorry I let you down
It's mean but I'm not sorry I let you down
It's mean but I'm not sorry I let you down
Don't you wish I never came around
I didn't care that she'd do anything for me
I didn't care that she would sell her soul to serve me
And as the tears fall from the cornrs of her eyes
I walked away, I walked away cause I'm the bad guy
I'm the bad guy
It's mean but I'm not sorry I let you down
It's mean but I'm not sorry I let you down
It's mean but I'm not sorry I let you down
Don't you wish I never came around
It's not funny
It's not funny at all, no no
but your misery, your pain
I'm gonna laugh about it all
cause I'm the bad guy
I am the bad guy
I am the bad guy
It's mean but I'm not sorry I let you down
It's mean, oh yeah
It's mean but I'm not sorry I let you down
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
It's mean but I'm not sorry I let you down
It's mean but I'm not sorry I let you down
It's mean but I'm not sorry I let you down
Don't you wish I never came around
Don't you wish I never came around
Don't you wish I never came around
