Crime
Love's Conviction: Spencer Burns' Tale of Redemption
Lyrics
It wasn't right going out every night
Expressing dissatisfaction with frequent outings
You were Bonnie but I was no Clyde
Reference to the criminal duo Bonnie and Clyde, implying an unbalanced relationship
Straight outta hell, aw but girl who could tell
Despite a troubled past, her appearance was angelic
With that heavenly look in your eyes
Her eyes had a heavenly allure
There was no sense in runnin, I was already cuffed wondering
Feeling trapped despite not physically restrained; questioning past decisions
Where in the hell I went wrong
Reflecting on mistakes and feeling lost
But I learned my lesson, yea I did my time, girl loving you
Learned from past experiences but still deeply in love
It should be a crime
Loving her feels like a punishable offense
Find myself wishin' and bitchin' bout' you when there's nothing to pour
Longing and complaining despite having nothing to distract from thoughts of her
And it ain't worth a dime
Her absence is invaluable
Staying up night after night hoping one day you'll walk through the door
Hopeful for her return, staying awake in anticipation
So just lock me up, if I end up
Willing to face consequences if it means being back with her
Back in your arms, someone sound the alarm
Being reunited with her is an alarming but desired situation
It should be a crime
Loving her feels like a punishable offense (repeated chorus)
I paid my dues, thanks to you I'm a new found man
Crediting her for personal growth and positive change
And I've been clean and the grass is feeling green on the other side
Life without her is refreshing despite not being together
Not holding your hand
Not holding her hand anymore
I've cleared my name, but it sure is a shame
Reputation cleared, but regretting that others won't have the same opportunity
That some fella won't be able to say the same
Another person will learn the hard way, similar to the singer's experience
He'll learn his lesson, just like I did mine, girl loving you
Anticipating another person's journey in love and the struggles ahead
It should be a crime
Loving her feels like a punishable offense (repeated chorus)
Find myself wishin' and bitchin' bout' you when there's nothing to pour
Complaining about her even when there's nothing else to occupy thoughts
And it ain't worth a dime
Her absence holds no value
Staying up night after night hoping one day you'll walk through the door
Longing for her return, maintaining hope
So just lock me up, if I end up
Willing to accept imprisonment if it means being with her
Back in your arms, someone sound the alarm
Being reunited with her is an alarming but desired situation (repeated chorus)
It should be a crime
And I've got, no rest
Feeling restless, unable to find peace
In a cell, feeling hell was the new best
Comparing emotional state to being in a personal hell
Soon as, you left
Changed significantly after her departure
I ain't the same with all the regret
Regretting past actions and their impact on the relationship
Find myself wishin' and bitchin' bout' you when there's nothing to pour
Continued complaints and longings despite no distractions
And it ain't worth a dime
Her absence has no value
Staying up night after night hoping one day you'll walk through the door
Continuing to hope for her return
So just lock me up, if I end up
Accepting consequences if it means reuniting with her
Back in your arms, someone sound the alarm
Being reunited with her is an alarming but desired situation (repeated chorus)
It should be a crime
