Lyrics

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 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

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


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


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
THAT IT'S A LOVE CRIME
SO I AM LEAVING YOU BEHIND
