Vices & Virtues Lyrics

What's a hero to a villain

Other than it's perfect half

You can deny the tension

But baby it's rising

And I won't back down

Is that flush because of battle?

Or am I just in your head

You seem distracted

Are we still fighting

Or am I in your bed instead?

What do you see when you look at me?

Am I the love of your life or your enemy?

Keep your friends close but hold me closer to you

And if I'm the villain

Then you better start running

'Cause you won't last long

If you're up against me

Don't stop to think about

What it would feel like

With your lips on mine

I see you checking out my moves

Better stop cause you're 'bout to lose

One quick hit and I leave you breathless

Never thought you could look so helpless

Woah

Why deny your admiration

"Is it lust? infatuation?"

You are so easy to predict

My love's a drug and you're an addict

I can hear your pounding heartbeat

You were mine right from the start, see

Every hero needs a villain

But I don't need you.

You think you're so much better

When you're really not all that

You keep on trying to convince yourself

It's a game of mouse and cat

When in reality you've fallen

And it's very clear to see

You like to lock away your feelings

But I hold the key

Woah!

And if I'm the villain

Then you better start running

'Cause you won't last long

If you're up against me

Don't stop to think about

What it would feel like

With your lips on mine

I see you checking out my moves

Better stop cause you're 'bout to lose

One quick hit and I leave you breathless

Never thought you could look so helpless

Woah
