Lyrics

The Good & the Bad Guy

Sometimes when I tell the story of you

I make you out to be the bad guy

And though it's true

Sometimes you're the bad guy

You're still mine

Sometimes when I paint the picture

It's easier just to remember

The awful things you said

And what you chose to do with legitimate need

You made like a fool

You made like a fool but you're still mine

And I want you

I want you

I do

Why does it hurt more to recall

Your good side, your good side

I always went to you for advice

You were a wise one, a wise one then

When I think about you in that time

It's harder to hate you then

But sometimes I want to hate you as the bad guy

The bad guy

Sometimes I want to hate you as the bad guy

Oh, but I want you, I want you

The good and the bad guy

The good and the bad guy

The good and the bad guy

The good and the bad guy
