"Cold Heart Criminal" lyrics

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...

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
