lyrics

I could be the meanest thing you've ever seen
Plucked from some bad dream
Cut down to a tee
And when you need me I'll be miles away
Breaking in the day
Drying out my armor in the sun
Just in case tomorrow comes

I fancy myself well acquainted with this game
Compared with the next man I've got just as much to say
But such nice words should mean that something's going to change
And we know it can't be done because we've both tried to refrain

From these crimes of passion
Breaking me down
With these crimes of passion
Nobody's fault just
Crimes of passion

Witnesses are few and far between
No one will testify to what it is they've seen
In my own recollection it might all have been a dream
And the way that these things happen are not the way they seem

I feel the guilt for all the things I haven't done
I get offended when I overstay my welcome
I wish you'd see I've never been so out of touch
And maybe then you'd be aware that I can only take so much

Of these crimes of passion
Nothing personal just
Crimes of passion
Everyday more
Crimes of passion
Breaking me down with these
Crimes of passion

The little things we do to each other
Just to find a way to hide from one another
But sooner or later someone always blows our cover
It don't matter how clean we are, we'll always be discovered

For these crimes of passion
Breaking me down with these
Crimes of passion
Nothing personal just
Crimes of passion
Nobody's fault just
Crimes of passion
