LOVE CRIME

VERSE
Pulse like a ticking bomb as I pull you to me
Ignoring the alarms we give in to this need
You told your alibis, your excuses and your lies
Then left her at the door to come back for more

CHORUS
Of this
Love crime love crime
I’m the secret that you have to hide
It’s a love crime, love crime
Why do I let you keep me on the side 
We are guilty, we are guilty
We know we cannot deny
It’s a dangerous line
And it’s a love crime

VERSE
Clock strikes half past ten and you have to leave me
Reality sets in goodbyes aren’t easy
I watch you through the glass and swear this time’s the last
Too many hearts could break from this sweet mistake

CHORUS
It’s a
Love crime love crime
I’m the secret that you have to hide
It’s a love crime, love crime
Why do I let you keep me on the side 
We are guilty, we are guilty
We know we cannot deny
It’s a dangerous line
And it’s a love crime

BRIDGE
I know this isn’t right
Then you touch me, I ignite
I’m a fool to get this close
Because you’ll never let her go

CHORUS
It’s a 
Love crime love crime
I’m the secret that you have to hide
It’s a love crime, love crime
Not gonna let you keep me on the side 
You are guilty, you are guilty
You know you cannot deny
 It’s a love crime love crime
So I am leaving you behind

It’s a love crime love crime
I’m the secret that you have to hide
It’s a love crime, love crime
Not gonna let you keep me on the side 
You are guilty, you are guilty
You know you cannot deny
 It’s a love crime love crime
So I am leaving you behind
I’m leaving you behind
