  • Pulls back the arrow
    Knows exactly where to start
    The weak spot in the armor
    Cuts straight to the heart

    And the clouds roll over, temperature drops
    As it gets closer and it all goes quiet
    Too quiet

    A voice that I don't wanna hear, the hurtful words I say
    Long list of things about myself I wanna change
    The heavy cloud that won't leave even after it rains
    I try to be a hero 'til it brings me to my knees
    Yeah, there's a villain in me

    You'll only see me laughing
    Sunshine and a smiling face
    Sometimes I wear it like a mask
    It's easier that way

    And the clouds roll over, temperature drops
    As it gets closer and it all goes quiet
    So damn quiet

    The voice that I don't wanna hear, the hurtful words I say
    The long list of things about myself I wanna change
    The heavy cloud that won't leave even after it rains
    I try to be a hero 'til it brings me to my knees
    Yeah, there's a villain in me

    Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to stand my ground
    So maybe one day he won't come around anymore

    Voice that I don't wanna hear, hurtful words I say
    A long list of things about myself I wanna change
    The heavy cloud that won't leave even after the rain
    Try to be a hero 'til it brings me to my knees
    Yeah, there's a villain in me
