The Bad Guy
I don't try to be a bad guy
I just turned out that way
I didn't mean to hurt You
It just ended up that way
Grew up like a normal kid
Had the normal friends
Did what normal kids did
Got into the trends
Hit the big school
Did what the boys thought was cool
Got lost in this haze
Hope its just a phase
Kicked to the curb
She probably felt that way
How'd I have the nerve
I should've just stayed
I don't try to be a bad guy
I just turned out that way
I didn't mean to hurt You
It just ended up that way
The marks were bad
"Who the hell cares?"
Got in a row with my dad
Now I get the stares
The green was a godsend
The green was fine
This green would trap me
In a matter of time
In my thoughts I search
I try to retrieve
All the lost memories
I've been deceived
I don't try to be a bad guy
I just turned out that way
I didn't mean to hurt You
It just ended up that way
Now we're nearing the end
Of this little thing called life
No more turns or bends
I knew it'd be full of strife
For this path I've chosen
Is a rough one, believe me
My minds been frozen
Should I attempt my final plea?
I have no one to pray to
No god up above
It's a choice I've followed through
Only thing I had
Only thing I lost
Was love
I don't try to be a bad guy
I just turned out that way
I didn't mean to hurt You
It just ended up that way
