Guilty
Love's Forbidden Confession: Guilty by George Shearing
Lyrics
Though you've decided that our love is wrong
Expressing the partner's decision that their love is considered wrong.
And think that we should part
Suggesting a belief that separation is necessary.
It seems as though I have loved you so long
Reflecting on the duration of love, implying a deep and enduring connection.
You'll always be in my heart
Affirming that the person will always hold a place in the speaker's heart.
Is it a sin
Pondering whether loving in this way is morally wrong.
Is it a crime
Questioning if the act of loving can be considered a crime.
Loving you dear like I do
Expressing the intensity of love for the partner.
If it's a crime then I'm guilty
Acknowledging the possibility of wrongdoing and accepting responsibility.
Guilty of loving you
Admitting guilt for the act of loving the partner.
Maybe I'm wrong dreaming of you

What can I do
Pondering the available options or actions after taking blame.
What can I say

After I've taken the blame?
Reflecting on the consequences of admitting fault in the relationship.
You say we're through
Indicating the partner's decision to end the relationship.
You'll go your way
Emphasizing that the partner will move on, but the speaker's feelings will persist.
But I'll always feel just the same
Expressing a persistent emotional connection despite the separation.
Maybe I'm right
Considering the possibility of being right in the intense love for the partner.
Maybe I'm wrong
