Criminal
Lyrics:
[English]
I know well that you're bad for me
Your eyes and the way you move
I try to get away from you
But being brainwashed, all I can do is nod
I don’t hate how your words make my feet entangled and dance
Cause I don’t want to deny the truth that it was destined to be you from the beginning
So elegant, a Criminal who hurts me
It’s okay You soothe me just to torture me again
Ooh I’m on a leash called you
It’s painful as much as I can’t breathe but also magnificent
So elegant, a Criminal who destroys me
Not okay I try and shake my head
Ooh but I’m only getting dragged in more deeply
The moment I fall for you, is the end of my innocence
The Syndrome called you
You lure me in and shake me
Behind your childlike innocent face
A frightening side of you, gives me goose bumps
My heart with an open wound is already full of your fingerprints
My hands holding yours that stabbed me are not clean either
So elegant, a Criminal who hurts me
It’s okay You soothe me just to torture me again
Ooh I’m on a leash called you
It’s painful as much as I can’t breathe but also magnificent
So elegant, a Criminal who destroys me
Not okay I try and shake my head
Ooh but I’m only getting dragged in more deeply
The moment I fall for you, is the end of my innocence
Destroy me more
So elegant, a Criminal who hurts me
It’s okay You soothe me just to torture me again
Ooh I’m on a leash called you
It’s painful as much as I can’t breathe but also magnificent
So elegant, a Criminal who destroys me
Not okay I try and shake my head
Ooh but I’m only getting dragged in more deeply
I don’t want to get away, destroy me completely
