Criminal State of Mind
- It was two thousand twenty two, grade 9 in French class,
- She sat across the room, didn’t think this would last,
- Her smile caught my eye, thought she was the one,
- Started talkin' to her, felt like we were having fun.
- We shared some laughs, thought we were on the same page,
- But I got too close, now I’m feelin’ this rage.
- My heart in her hands, but it wasn’t enough,
- She didn’t feel the way I felt—this love’s tough.
- She’s all about the game, and I’m just a pawn,
- She’s got my heart but can’t keep me long,
- Every word she said felt so damn real,
- But the love I gave her, she couldn’t feel.
- I met a girl, I gave her my heart,
- Got too close and it tore me apart,
- She bout that life, my heart she stealin',
- My love for her goes up past the ceiling,
- I don’t do drugs, no wakin’ and bakin’,
- She a thief, and my heart she takin’,
- I let her in, now I’m feelin' the pain,
- My love for her’s like a runaway train,
- She had me caught up, I didn’t know how,
- Now I’m stuck here, don’t know how to get out.
- Late night talks, I thought she was real,
- But when I needed her, she made me feel surreal,
- She took what I gave, didn’t give it back,
- Now I’m left here tryna stay on track.
- She never knew how much I cared for her,
- Put my trust in her, but it’s all a blur,
- I wanted to show her that I’d be her man,
- But it’s like I was a part of some plan.
- Every moment we shared, I thought it meant more,
- But now I’m standin' here with a heart that's torn,
- She don’t see the love, the pain that I feel,
- I gave her my soul, but it wasn’t real.
- I’d do anything just to make her see,
- That the love I gave her was all for free.
- I met a girl, I gave her my heart,
- Got too close and it tore me apart,
- She bout that life, my heart she stealin',
- My love for her goes up past the ceiling,
- I don’t do drugs, no wakin’ and bakin’,
- She a thief, and my heart she takin’,
- I let her in, now I’m feelin' the pain,
- My love for her’s like a runaway train,
- She had me caught up, I didn’t know how,
- Now I’m stuck here, don’t know how to get out.
- I’m stuck in this game, don’t know how to play,
- But I keep thinkin' 'bout her every day.
