Criminal Lyrics by Eric Punzo

2021

[Verse 1]
Yeah I’ve been running like a river, I’ve been swimming in the fear, no lie
And I’ve been living like a sinner, you can see it in the way I smile
And I’ve been running so far away from where I’ve come from
Yeah I don’t deserve this, but I’m always learning

[Pre-Chorus]
And I’ve been speaking with the preacher, yeah I’m out my mind
Found a reason in believing, yeah I’m on my grind
When you see me on the TV, hope it makes you cry

[Chorus]
'Cause I don’t need your lies, I won’t say I’m fine
I’ve been living like a criminal, been alone
I’ve been living like a criminal
And I don’t think I’ll shine, won’t you be my light
I’ve been living like a criminal, been alone
I’ve been living like a criminal

[Verse 2]
It’s on to the next, I really thought you were my type though
On to the stress, it’s like I’m walking on a tight rope
Texting my ex, she really thinks that I’m a psycho and I know
That maybe she’s right

I’ll never forget, I started listening to Christ more
All in my head, it’s like I never had to fight more
Something I said, I really hope it was delightful, insightful
'Cause I don’t remember

[Pre-Chorus]
And I’ve been speaking with the preacher, yeah I’m out my mind
Found a reason in believing, yeah I’m on my grind
When you see me on the TV, hope it makes you cry

[Chorus]
'Cause I don’t need your lies, I won’t say I’m fine
I’ve been living like a criminal, been alone
I’ve been living like a criminal
And I don’t think I’ll shine, won’t you be my light
I’ve been living like a criminal, been alone
I’ve been living like a criminal

[Outro]
(I’ve been living like a… )
(I’ve been living like a… )

'Cause I don’t need your lies, I won’t say I’m fine
I’ve been living like a criminal, been alone
I’ve been living like a criminal
And I don’t think I’ll shine, won’t you be my light
I’ve been living like a criminal, been alone
I’ve been living like a criminal

I’ve been living like a criminal, been alone
I’ve been living like a criminal
I’ve been living like a criminal, been alone
I’ve been living like a criminal
