Heartbeat Criminal

Verse 1 She walks in slow, shadows on the wall, Neon tears in the midnight hall. Every step like a loaded gun, She smiles — but the damage is done. Whispers float like a broken crime, Every lie keeps perfect time. I feel the chill in the way she moves, Like a storm in dancing shoes. Pre-Chorus She says my name like a getaway, Then disappears in the light of day. Every kiss is a hit-and-run, Tell me, baby, what have you done? Chorus You’re a heartbeat criminal, Stealing love like it’s fictional. Every night you break me slow, Then you vanish in the afterglow. You’re a heartbeat criminal, Cold smile, eyes so digital, Tell me why I still believe, In a love that only knows how to leave. Verse 2 Moonlight bleeds on the shattered floor, Your shadow’s dancing at my door. I trace your name in the smoke, Every promise you ever broke. Your perfume still in the air, Like a crime scene everywhere. I hear your laugh in the rain, Every memory screams your name. Pre-Chorus 2 You pull me close, then push away, Like a ghost who wants to stay. Every touch is a loaded lie, Tell me why I still try? Chorus (repeat) You’re a heartbeat criminal, Stealing love like it’s fictional. Every night you break me slow, Then you vanish in the afterglow. You’re a heartbeat criminal, Cold smile, eyes so digital, Tell me why I still believe, In a love that only knows how to leave. Bridge (spoken/sung rhythmically) Annie, can you feel my pain? Every night it’s the same. You take my soul, you steal my breath, You leave me dancing with regret. Break (rhythmic) Left, right — broken inside, Your love is a perfect crime. No sirens, no goodbye, Just your shadow in my mind. Final Chorus (soft → powerful) You’re a heartbeat criminal, I was just another victim, oh. Every tear falls in time, To the beat of your perfect crime. You’re a heartbeat criminal, But I still call you mine, Tell me why I can’t escape, From a love that only knows how to take.
