well
it used to be easy for me
to hang out and get high
what you're going through is killing you
now you're shooting me the evil eye

you holler at me, it's ugly to see
you hurt yourself and lose your pride
'cause the villain in me is in ecstasy
and I'm taking it all in stride

all the rumors will start, don't let 'em tear us apart
don't let our love become unbound
you gotta learn to take the destruction, babe
what goes around comes around

talk around town is bringing you down
can't you see that they're just lies
it don't mean a thing, the mud they sling
suspicion's in their eyes, now

'cause I've been villified
crossing over to the other side
oh, villified
can't see
what's on the inside
what's on the inside

want to talk to you to see you through
some things ain't worth the fight
you know me well enough to try and act tough
what we had was love at first sight

you point at me confused what you see
means something you can't find
don't wanna give in, take a look within
you gotta stop and check your mind, right now
right now

(chorus) x2

the talk around town is bringing you down
just can't see what's on the inside
it don't mean a thing, the mud that they sling
they can't see what's on the inside
girl, I've been villified
yeah, villified, villified, villified
I've been talked about, turned out
but they can't see, they can't see, no
