Passion Crime

It’s our betrayal to the world
A love affair of sordid means
You’re like my cigarette, baby
A drag whenever I need
And one day I know that you’ll surely kill me

They see us on the news and their little voices talk
They hate how we live and they hate how we walk
Right on by with each other’s hand held tight
We’re the poison for the children of today
It’s not our fault they like to watch us play

Lovers lie and liars love
It’s what makes the world keep turning
Makes our blood keep burning
With every touch I feel the lies burning you away
But it doesn’t matter as long as we don’t start to fray

Whenever someone asked why we live our lives, we say
‘I let him love me, let that be my story.’
No one can tear what we have from us
Love and lust; for us they’re one in the same
I’ll never let your hand leave mine, darling

We sacrificed everything to be where we are today
It’s something that they can never take away
Cuz I love the way you laugh and sing, fight and scream
To me, you’ll always be the burning light of love
Buried in our Passion Crime.

Lovers lie and liars love
It’s what makes the world keep turning
Makes our blood keep burning
With every kiss I feel the lies that eat at your tongue
You want to confess everything you’ve done
But that’s alright, I don’t care
As long as you feel guilty, I’ll always be there
