Criminal

[Verse 1:]
Mama, I fell in love with a criminal
Point-blank range stole my heart in Union Square
Mama, you told me love was a miracle
So why do I keep feeling like nobody cares?

[Chorus:]
It's the only thing I know
Fighting through the cold to find ya
Looking for your light
The shadows always hide the truth
Lighting up the coals
Hope you see the smoke of my fire
In a world filled of ghosts I can only see the soul in you.

[Bridge:]
I've been trying find my way in the city
I don't even know myself anymore
But if I'm sure of one thing, I need you with me
Even if half the time we're at war
But that's just the way it goes
That's just the way it goes
Either way it goes.

[Verse 2:]
Father told me one day by the river
You'll find glory and hurt within the flow
There's a pain here but it don't last forever
Gotta let it tear away your heart so it can grow.

[Chorus:]
It's the only thing I know
Fighting through the cold to find ya
Looking for your light
The shadows always hide the truth
Lighting up the coals
Hope you see the smoke of my fire
In a world filled of ghosts I can only see the soul in you.

[Bridge:]
I've been trying find my way in the city
I don't even know myself anymore
But if I'm sure of one thing, I need you with me
Even if half the time we're at war
But that's just the way it goes
That's just the way it goes
Either way it goes.
