Lyrics
You got your clothes and your books and your empty smile,
You possess your belongings, knowledge, and a fake smile that conceals emptiness.
You took your time but you're finally out,
You took your time, but now you're finally out (of the picture).
Now I can breathe, I can dance, I can run amok,
Now that you're gone, I can breathe, dance, and enjoy life freely.
You think I'm cruel but you know that I'm right,
You may think I'm harsh, but deep down, you know I'm right.
'Cause we were ordinary, bored and wary of the things we said
We used to be ordinary, bored, and cautious about our words.
It ain't a crime to sing a sad song,
Expressing sadness through a song is not a crime.
One about love, now that it's gone,
A sad song about love, now that it's over.
It ain't a crime to sing a sad song,
Repeating that expressing sadness through a song is not a crime.
One about us, now that we're done
A sad song about us, now that our relationship is finished.
You give me wings, give me life when you're not around,
You gave me joy and purpose when you were absent.
You were no good 'til I left you behind,
You were not beneficial until I left you behind.
You made me gray, just a face in another crowd,
You turned me dull, just a face in the crowd.
Now I'm alone and I'm one of a kind,
Now I'm alone, but I'm unique in my own way.
Yeah we were ordinary, quiet contrary to a stormy daze
We used to be ordinary, but different when compared to a turbulent time.
It ain't a crime to sing a sad song,
Reiterating that expressing sadness through a song is not a crime.
One about love, now that it's gone,
A sad song about love, now that it's over.
It ain't a crime to sing a sad song,
Repeating that expressing sadness through a song is not a crime.
One about us, now that we're done
A sad song about us, now that our relationship is finished.
And I knew that we were wrong,
Acknowledging that the relationship was wrong.
But you needed me to move you along,
You needed me to help you move forward, even though it was not right.
And I know we didn't belong together,
Realizing that we didn't belong together.
We were ordinary, bored and wary of the things we said
We used to be ordinary, bored, and cautious about our words.
It ain't a crime to sing a sad song,
Reiterating that expressing sadness through a song is not a crime.
One about love, now that it's gone,
A sad song about love, now that it's over.
It ain't a crime to sing a sad song,
Repeating that expressing sadness through a song is not a crime.
(it ain't a crime to sing a sad song)

It ain't a crime to sing a sad song

One about love, now that it's gone (to sing a sad song)

One about us, now that we're done (to sing a sad song)

Now that it's gone
