Lyrics

I'm a petty criminal

I acknowledge that I engage in minor wrongdoing.

Steal your heart then let it go

I capture your affection and then release it.

Lie to make you believe that this brawl

I deceive to make you think that the conflict wasn't my fault.

Wasn't my fault

Referring to a dispute or disagreement.

Jealous and emotional

I experience envy and heightened emotions.

I'll decide to hang up the phone

I choose to end our conversation abruptly.

Lovin' runnin' from your way until I call

Expressing love by avoiding direct contact until I initiate communication.

From my fall

Reference to a personal downfall or failure.

When you're around I hate myself

When you're present, I feel a sense of self-loathing.

You're too kind to everyone else

You show kindness to others, contrasting with my selfish behavior.

While I'm stuck here fighting all my selfish ways

I struggle against my own self-centered tendencies while you handle challenges.

You're way too good for me

You deserve someone better than me.

I worry that you will leave

I fear that you might choose to leave the relationship.

It would make sense if you decided not to stay

It would be reasonable if you decide not to continue with me.

I'm a petty criminal

Reiteration of being a minor wrongdoer in relationships.

Steal your heart then let it go

Repeating the pattern of taking and then releasing your affection.

Lie to make you believe that this brawl

Reiterating deceptive behavior in conflicts.

Wasn't my fault

Recalling a previous dispute or issue.

Jealous and emotional

Reemphasizing feelings of jealousy and heightened emotions.

I'll decide to hang up the phone

Choosing to end communication abruptly again.

Lovin' runnin' from your way until I call

Expressing love through evasive actions until I decide to reconnect.

From my fall

Reiteration of personal downfall or failure.

When you're around I hate myself

Experiencing self-hatred when you're present.

You're too kind to everyone else

Noting your kindness towards others compared to my selfish tendencies.

While I'm stuck here fighting all my selfish ways

Continued struggle against my own self-centered behavior.

You're way too good for me

Acknowledging that you deserve better than what I can offer.

I worry that you will leave

Expressing fear of a potential decision by you to end the relationship.

It would make sense if you decided not to stay

Recognizing the reasonableness if you choose not to stay with me.
