[Verse 1]
I was green with envy, toxic as sin,
Playing games, didn't know where to begin,
Sorry, Dorothy, didn't mean to offend,
Just a wicked witch in need of a friend.
Straw men and lions, a void in the brain,
Playing with fire, just a pawn in the game,
Silence in Oz but the whispers were loud,
Caught up in spells, couldn't see through the shroud.
[Chorus]
Didn’t mean to cause you harm—
Just a misunderstood witch, not a devil’s charm.
[Verse 2]
Swept up in a cyclone, couldn’t hold back,
Heartbreak and sorrows, shades of black,
You had your sparkly shoes, unicorns and rainbows,
But nightmares and shadows, that’s how my story goes.
Crystal balls shattered, wizards were blind,
Ruby red slippers, just a state of mind,
The girls in glass houses should not throw shade,
Commanding the storms, it's the price I paid.
[Chorus]
Didn’t mean to cause you harm—
Just a misunderstood witch, not a devil’s charm.
[Bridge]
I cast the spells, burned the bridges down,
Lost in these lies, like a twisted crown,
Green like envy, broke apart the yellow,
Tarnished dreams, goodnight my fellow.
[Verse 3]
Sorry, Dorothy, for all the fights,
Who knew a heart could be crushed by lights?
In this land of dreams, songs unsung,
Wicked past, we were just too young.
Flying monkeys and darknight skies,
Good or evil?—Who decides?
Let’s bury the hatchet, call it a truce,
In the realm of Oz, we’ve got nothing to lose.
[Chorus]
Didn’t mean to cause you harm—
Just a misunderstood witch, not a devil’s charm.
