Yeah! 

Looks like I'm doing time 

Framed for another crime 

Lost all my innocence 

In shameless sin of a broken mind 

But maybe I'm to blame 

Cause things aren't gonna change 

Held down and taken in 

To hopeless life and pointless games 



You lied, you lied to me 

You went and blew my cover 

You got away with murder 

Now I'm the criminal 



Now I'm the criminal (x3) 

But you gave me the key 

Whoa-oh 

Now I'm the criminal (x3) 

But you gave me the key 



Would you say anything? 

Give me some reasoning! 

To why you stab me in the back 

While I was covering 

You for this stunt you pulled 

Do you think I'm a fool? 

I'll tell them everything to 

Keep my life and record clean 



You lied, you lied to me 

You went and blew my cover 

You got away with murder 

Now I'm the criminal 



Now I'm the criminal (x3) 

But you gave me the key 

Whoa-oh 

Now I'm the criminal (x3) 

But you gave me the key 

Whoa -oh 



Gave me the key! 

Whoa-oh 



Bullets and enemies 

Helmets and you me 

Friend or future 

Blaming it on the past 

Shotguns and make believe 

What you have become to me 

Holding on to memories won't last 

Your fame won't last! 



Now I'm the criminal (x3) 

But you gave me the key 

Whoa-oh 

I am the criminal (x3) 

But you gave me the key 

Now I'm the criminal 

I am a criminal! 

Now I'm the criminal 

But you gave me the key 

Whoa oh 

Gave me the key 

Whoa oh! 

Now I am the criminal!
