Crime of Passion

Left a ransom note on my sweater
But that's not like you, I know better
Saying you'd be back when the sun came down
Like I didn't have a clue
Left your keys on top of the counter
It was last weekend when you found her
You put on an act since she came town
Saying it was me not you, but

Who's crazy now for sneaking over?
Thinking you'd get out with closure
You left me clues like a murder mystery
And this is how it's gonna be

Now I'm driving past your house
And I'm calling you out
And the neighbors and your friends and the fire department
Will know how you treated my head and my heart when
You found an accomplice
I drowned in our last kiss
As the camera crew rolls up to see the disaster
I hope that you got everything you were after
Watch it all burn, too late to cash in
The news anchor said it was a crime of passion

We ran into her at a party
She bumped into you, said I'm sorry
It was like a vision present in the kitchen
You were just as good as gone
Then you brought her into a corner
But I trusted you and ignored her
And I felt the fission after your decision
'cause I knew something was wrong

And they might call me Left Eye Lopez
For caving in to all the torment
You left me clues like a murder mystery
And this is how it's gonna be

Now I'm driving past your house
And I'm calling you out
And the neighbors and your friends and the fire department
Will know how you treated my head and my heart when
You found an accomplice
I drowned in our last kiss
As the camera crew rolls up to see the disaster
I hope that you got everything you were after
Watch it all burn, too late to cash in
The news anchor said it was a crime of passion

Call the coroner, call the crew to clean
Find my former self dying at the scene
Here lies the girl consumed with provocation
All the officers know It's not my fault
How could anyone after that assault
Not be wound up, not have a reaction
That leads to anything except a crime of passion?

Now I'm driving from your house
Because you've been found out
As the sirens blow past, they would never suspect me
And I'll be damned if the court would correct me
For just getting even
'Cause I had a reason
Now you're living your life, yeah you got what you wanted
And after all this, you'll forever be haunted
You'll never see a flame without counting your rations
And never let another woman be a distraction
And everything we built is all dull and ashen
'Cause everybody knows it was a crime of passion
