Criminal
Love robot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Give me the blame I’ll wear it around my neck until I choke
‘Cause everyone surrounding me
I believe deserves to know
Exactly what type of criminal I am
So they can run and they can hide
Before their heart gets in my hands
Oh no
It could be quite possible that I have a way with words with others
This way may continuously seem to lead me straight into trouble
But I don’t care ’cause I know where my heart lies at the end of the day
So I’m sorry if you had too much
Be sure to take a look but you just can’t touch

Oh I know
I said too much
I need to learn to keep my mouth shut
Oh I know
I don’t mean what I say
Because for me this is just a game

So you can take your sob story elsewhere
Because my god I just don’t care
‘Cause from the start, my dice were loaded
The stars in your eyes made it hard to notice
My intentions were selfish at best
‘Cause if you get hurt I could not care less
That’s the thing about the games that I play
This is a warning
Stay out of my way

You don’t mean a thing to me
You know you never did
My heart… pineapple… crawling through my head




I am a criminal
Before you pineapple
