Scott Stapp - Criminal lyrics

rate me

I listened alone all night

I listened for what seems is no way out

No windows to allow a sound or light to feed my mind,

Slowly I bury myself alive, alive

I'm so sorry, so sorry I opened that door

I'm just searching, I am searching for reasons why

I hear knocking, knocking on doors I have closed

The man you're describing has got to be make believe

No you're not insane, no no, Yes it was me

Why can't you see me for what I've become

Not who I used to be

I'm no criminal

My life's stuck in rewind

Look the other way

Big mistakes I made

So why do I keep turning back to see the flames

When ashes still burn in my eyes

Oh the pain

Said I'm so sorry, so sorry I opened that door

I'm just searching, I am searching for reasons why

I hear knocking, knocking on doors I have closed

The man you're describing has got to be make believe

No you're not insane, no no, Yes it was me

Why can't you see me for what I've become

Not who I used to be

I'm no criminal, no criminal

Not caught red handed, busted

I'm not in chains, not in chains

Oh Why can't you see me for what I've become

Not who I used to be

There's no criminal, no criminal, no criminal, left in me

In me.... Can't you see

Why is the day so many follow narrows the path I soon will swallow

Blinding eyes can't see my way

Can you help me please

I'm no criminal, no criminal

Not caught red handed, busted

I'm not in chains, not in chains

Oh Why can't you see me for what I've become

Not who I used to be

I'm no criminal, no criminal, no criminal, left in me

Why, Why, Why

I'm no Criminal

Why, Why, Why

'cuz I'm no, I'm no

No Criminal...

I listened alone all night

I listened for what seems is no way out

No windows to allow a sound or light to feed my mind,

Slowly I bury myself alive
