This thing that I’m feeling, you couldn’t know
This thing that I feel I’m feeling all alone
You said you were so confused, you pulled away
I’m needing summer but winter’s on the way

Bridge:
Emotion is a weakness in me
I can’t deny that I feel like breaking down
I can’t imagine facing night without you
If that’s a crime

Chorus:
It’s a crime of the heart, and it’s tearing me apart
It’s a crime, a crime of passion
It’s a crime and you know, I just can’t let you go
It’s a crime, a crime of passion

It’s a crime, a crime of passion (2x)

It’s not a sign of weakness, if I give in
I want to hold you but where do I begin
I need you here with me, but I’m alone
I’ll have to settle for kisses on the phone

(Bridge/ Chorus)

It’s a crime, a crime of passion (2x)

I’m panicking inside, don’t you realize
I can’t get you off my mind, put it all behind
Remember now...

(Chorus)

It’s a crime
