Trust Me Not Hero and Villain Duet
Backseat Vagabond
HERO
What are you doing, dear
Aren't you tired?

VILLAIN
God, what are you doing here?
I don't think that you were invited
Here you go again
Pretending that you love me
When just beneath the surface you're convinced
That you're above me

HERO
Dig deep into the past
I've never been one for doing thing half-assed
If I'm here to save you, I'll be here forever
Just take my hand, I'll be your knight in shining armor

VILLAIN
You think you're a hero?
And they'll tell you you are
So stoic and handsome
And you've come so far
HERO
You think you're a villain
But I know you're not
Under all that angst and anger
Is a beating human heart

VILLAIN
What about the lonely little girls?

HERO
I'm sorry

VILLAIN
What about her monsters who prevailed?

HERO
I'm sorry

VILLAIN / HERO
You never came to save my world
What about me? / What about us?

HERO
I recognize that you're upset
I know they did you wrong
VILLAIN
Oh, you know nothing of me

HERO
But trust me, please believe me
This won't stop the hurt for long
We don't need to end like this
Look me in the eyes

VILLAIN
Here comes the hero complex

VILLAIN / HERO
I may be a villain / You call yourself a villain
But you're the one who lies / But we know it's a disguise

VILLAIN
So, you're back at it again
Twisting and manipulating every word I've said?

HERO
Come on, you know that's not true
I'm just trying to help you
Let me help you!

VILLAIN
You are not my hero!
You don't know how it felt
What else could I do with
The cards that I've been dealt?
HERO
You are not the villain
You once held my hand

VILLAIN
Stand up
Get out
Sometimes things don't go as planned
