Love Crime
My Darkest Days Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some say that love is blind
Some lovers live in lie
She meant the world to me
I’ve found my one and only
Felt no guilt inside
Can’t tell wrong from right
She stole my soul from me
Her heart is cold and empty
Turn around and run away

Get out alive before she goes and makes another victim of the love crime (of love crime)
I paid the price so she could go and make another victim of the love crime (of the love crime)

Her smile you can’t resist
There’s poison on her lips
Disguised as an angel
One night could be fatal
Next victim on her list
Gets caught with just one kiss
You’ll never see it coming
To her love is nothing
Turn around and run away

Get out alive before she goes and makes another victim of the love crime (of love crime)
I paid the price so she could go and make another victim of the love crime (of the love crime)

Turn around and run away
Get out alive before she goes and makes another victim of the love crime (of love crime)
I paid the price so she could go and make another victim of the love crime (of the love crime)

Turn around and run away
Get out alive before she goes and makes another victim of the love crime (of love crime)
I paid the price so she could go and make another victim of the love crime (of the love crime)

She’ll get away with it




And take the safety off
She’ll go and make another victim of the love crime

Overall Meaning

The song Love Crime by My Darkest Days is an emotional ballad that warns of the dangers of falling in love with the wrong person. The lyrics speak to the idea that while some people see love as blind and all-consuming, there are others who use it as a weapon to manipulate and hurt those around them. The singer has fallen for someone who is cold and empty, and while they are aware of the danger, they still find it hard to resist their charms. The song urges the listener to turn around and run away before they become the next victim of the love crime.


The lyrics are particularly poignant because they tap into a common fear of vulnerability within relationships. The idea that someone could be so heartless as to use love as a weapon is terrifying, and Love Crime speaks to that fear with force and eloquence. The line "Next victim on her list, gets caught with just one kiss" is particularly chilling because it suggests that the singer has seen this kind of behavior play out before. It's clear that they are not only warning the listener, but also speaking from personal experience.
