Cold Heart Criminal Lyrics[Intro]
One, two, one, two, three
[Verse 1]
I met Brandon after we played a show, Colorado
I didn't know it then but his chest was fully hollow
Yeah, he was in a band and he got me in his hands and
I followed him 'til we made it out to Chicago
Well, he left me there and took half my heart in his tour bus
And I could tell another heartbreak story, sure, but
Now I'm mostly just amazed and I wanna learn his ways 'cause
I wanna get away with
[Pre-Chorus]
Talking how he talks
And leading like he led me on
Being something 'til we're not
Then leaving like he left me gone, gone, gone
[Chorus]
Now it's my turn to break a heart like he broke mine
And I don't care if I get caught, if it's a crime
To be a little love sick, a little love cynical
Call me a cold heart criminal
[Verse 2]
So I hitched a ride to Los Angeles, California
Route 66, I said, "Thank you, miss," at the door of
A dive-y kinda place and that's where I saw his face and
He said his name and that he just made it from Georgia
I said, "Good afternoon," we danced until goodnight
And then when it was morning, I left before the light
He called and told me I had half his heart, I said "Shawn
Boy, I'm really sorry but it's gone, gone, gone"
[Chorus]
Now it's my turn to break a heart like he broke mine
And I don't care if I get caught, if it's a crime
To be a little love sick, a little love cynical
Call me a cold heart criminal
The roles reversed, I wanna play the other side
Done getting hurt, I'll break the law, if it's a crime
To be a little love sick, a little love cynical
Call me a cold heart criminal
[Bridge]
No, you can't blame me, it's all his fault
Oh, 'cause he made me, made me, a cold heart criminal
[Outro]
Call me a little hypocritical
Call me a cold heart criminal
