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
It's so hard to draw the line

Smoking resin wouldn't get me into heaven
But close to feeling free
It's so hard to draw the line
But I loved you for too much time
Confessions at night

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

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

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
