My Brightest Diamond - The Good & The Bad Guy

Sometimes when I tell the story of you
I make you out to be the bad guy
& 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
& what you chose to do with legitimate need
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
I always went to you for advice
You were 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
But I want you the good & the bad guy
