My mother calls me to say she's still upset My sister sends a text, all her best Well, it's alright to stay inside Let each message pass you by The consideration's nice, but the ritual is what I need The consideration's nice, but the ritual is what I need I don't wanna be the villain The consideration's nice, but the ritual is what I need Alone and in silence I'm the architect Of futures, tall buildings with you I'll neglect Driving down I-95 Stopped at Duncan just to cry In all of our years together I lived only the deleted scenes The consideration's nice, but I don't need it I don't wanna be the villain Love is an argument that assumes itself You wait on it down until it's merely a habit It perseveres Love is an argument that assumes itself The moment it begins to feel like magic I worry it will persevere I don't wanna be the villain Gone, gone, gone I know I'm destined to be gone
