The Crime

You always said that you would die young,

made me feel so damn old

I only loved you cause I thought you were fun,

at the time guess I was easily sold

We kissed to Pavement in someone else's basement

Got high in borrowed cars

You were the brave one by my estimation

That's how you stole my heart

CHORUS

It's so hard to draw the line

But I loved you for too much time

Confessions at night

Clues in plain sight

Don't mean a thing when you love the crime

Legends of the Fall played on your dad's ex-wife's tv

As he quietly explained dark web alien conspiracies

It was April and much too late for angels or scenes of nativity

Smoking resin wouldn't get me into heaven

But close to feeling free

CHORUS

It's so hard to draw the line

But I loved you for too much time

Confessions at night

Clues in plain sight

Don't mean a thing when you love the crime

 

Fuck the World you told me but for once I did not agree

What I did not realize was that you meant it literally

You kissed your best friend while I paid for you rent, lent you my debit card

You weren't so pretty after all that whiskey, how'd we get so far?

CHORUS

It's so hard to draw the line

But I loved you for too much time

Confessions at night

Clues in plain sight

Don't mean a thing when you love the crime

The Crime

I left the land of the flowers and wasted hours in one piece

I don't want my dignity back, just the time you took from me

Your disguised blessing helped me learn my lesson

Now I plainly see

If they say I'm trouble, then you oughtta double the space in between
