[Intro — distant sirens, whispered vocals]
They said loving like this was dangerous…
Maybe they were right.
Candy Viper…
[Verse 1 — smooth storytelling vocals]
Running through the city after midnight,
Two shadows underneath the streetlights,
Everybody telling us to slow down,
But we never listened to the whole town,
You were chaos, I was gasoline,
A beautiful impossible dream,
Maybe we were never built to last,
But forever doesn’t change the past,
[Pre-Chorus — emotional build]
If loving you was breaking rules,
I guess I’m guilty of that too,
Some things you’re not supposed to chase…
Still become the memories you can’t replace,
[Chorus — powerful hook]
I’m a love criminal,
Wanted by my own heart,
Running from the ending
That I knew from the start,
Love criminal,
Lost inside the sparks,
Trying to find forever
In a world that falls apart,
If loving too much
Is my only crime…
Then I’ll confess tonight.
[Verse 2 — vulnerable confidence]
I don’t regret the roads we chose,
Even the ones nobody knows,
Every mistake, every goodbye,
Taught me what it means to be alive,
I won’t erase a single scar,
They’re just proof of where we are,
Sometimes losing what you want,
Shows you what you really need,
[Pre-Chorus 2 — rising vocals]
If loving you was breaking rules,
I still learned something from you,
Some fires aren’t meant to stay…
They just help you find your way,
[Chorus — powerful hook]
I’m a love criminal,
Wanted by my own heart,
Running from the ending
That I knew from the start,
Love criminal,
Lost inside the sparks,
Trying to find forever
In a world that falls apart,
If loving too much
Is my only crime…
Then I’ll confess tonight.
[Bridge — dramatic R&B moment]
Put my name on the wall,
Say I’m guilty of it all,
Guilty of caring,
Guilty of trying,
Guilty of hoping,
Guilty of flying,
If that’s a crime…
I’ll do the time.
[Verse 3 — emotional freedom]
I spent nights replaying evidence,
Looking for where we lost innocence,
Searching moments, searching signs,
Trying to rewrite borrowed time,
But some stories end without a villain,
Some hearts break and keep on healing,
I won’t punish who I used to be,
For loving someone honestly,
[Final Pre-Chorus — courtroom finale build]
No more running,
No more chains,
No more carrying
Yesterday’s blame,
The final verdict
Set me free…
I was never the enemy,
[Final Chorus — cinematic finale]
I’m a love criminal,
Wanted by my own heart,
Running from the ending
That I knew from the start,
Love criminal,
But I found the missing part,
Sometimes things break…
To show you who you are,
If loving too much
Is my only crime…
Then I forgive myself tonight.
[Outro — whispered]
Case closed.
I was guilty…
Of having a heart.
