Cold Heart Criminal

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

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

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

Mmmm

Mmmm

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"

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

No, you can't blame me

It's all his fault

Oh 'cause he made me, made me

A cold heart criminal

Call me a little hypocritical

Call me a cold heart criminal
