Vices & Virtues

What's a hero to a villain
Other than its 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 checkin' on 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-oh-woah-oh
Woah-oh

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
They 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 checkin' on 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-oh-oh
Woah-oh
Woah-oh
Woah-oh
Woah-oh
