Criminal
His car smells a lot like home and this night we'll trail off the road
feeling free
another Stain on his baseball hat, you see he's no good at
staying pleased
But his voice is true like a child's prayer and it follows me most everywhere
I know how this goes
He stole my heart like a Criminal and i'd steal it back but he won't let go
I want some control
Let me walk away from you
It’s time we say goodbye
Cause all we do is hurt and bruise, now
Let me go cause you know
We've fallen down
Tonight
My coffee spilled where he wrote my name
And my eyes just filled with tears of shame
Cause I didn't move
Maybe I'm scared of a fight
Maybe i'm scared to be alone all night, I might
Let me walk away from you
It’s time we say goodbye
Cause all we do is hurt and bruise, now
Let me go cause you know
We've fallen down
Tonight

I wrote Criminal from a friends perspective, regarding the highs and lows of her relationship with her boyfriend. My main hope, when writing songs, is that the song resonates with people at whatever time in their life they stumble upon it.
