You've always been quiet, holding it inside
Words left unsaid, with nowhere to hide
You say you don't want to be the bad guy
But when I speak up, I'm the one who's left to cry
I've been pouring out my heart, breaking my own walls
While you stand there, saying nothing at all
Now I'm the bad guy for saying how I feel
While you keep it locked up, never keeping it real
You say the truth makes you seem too cold
But silence is the sharpest weapon you hold
I'm not the bad guy for needing to know
Why love feels so distant, yet so close below
You say speaking out just leads to pain
So you leave me hanging in the pouring rain
I'm not your enemy for needing more
But somehow I'm the villain for opening the door
I've been screaming into silence, trying to break through
While you stay hidden, afraid of the truth
Now I'm the bad guy for saying how I feel
While you keep it locked up, never keeping it real
You say the truth makes you seem too cold
But silence is the sharpest weapon you hold
I'm not the bad guy for needing to know
Why love feels so distant, yet so close below
You call it protection, but it's tearing us apart
Holding back is what's breaking my heart
How can I be wrong for wanting more
When you shut me out and close the door
Now I'm the bad guy for saying how I feel
While you keep it locked up, never keeping it real
You say the truth makes you seem too cold
But silence is the sharpest weapon you hold
I'm not the bad guy for needing to know
Why love feels so distant, yet so close below
I'm not the bad guy
I just need to know
Why you shut me out
When you should hold me close
