It's a Crime
Sa-fire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This thing that I'm feeling, you couldn't know
This thing that I feel, I'm feeling all alone

You said you were confused, you pulled away
I'm needing summer but winter's on the way

Emotion is a weakness in me
I can't deny that I feel like breaking down
I can't imagine facing night without you
If that's a crime

It's a crime of the heart, and it's tearing me apart
It's a crime, crime of passion
It's a crime and you know, I just can't let you go
It's a crime, crime of passion

It's a crime
It's a crime of passion
It's a crime of passion
Of passion

It's not a sign of weakness, if I give in
I want to hold you but where do I begin?

I need you here with me, but I'm alone
I'll have to settle for kisses on the phone

Emotion is a weakness in me
I can't deny that I feel like breaking down
I can't imagine facing night without you
If that's a crime

It's a crime of the heart, and it's tearing me apart
It's a crime, crime of passion
It's a crime and you know, I just can't let you go
It's a crime, crime of passion

It's a crime
It's a crime
It's a crime of passion
It's a crime of passion
Of passion

I'm panicking inside, don't you realize
I can't get you off my mind, put it all behind
Remember now

Emotion is a weakness in me
I can't deny, yes, I feel like breaking down
I can't imagine facing night without you
If that's a crime

It's a crime of the heart, and it's tearing me apart
It's a crime, crime of passion
It's a crime and you know, I just can't let you go
It's a crime, crime of passion

It's a crime of the heart, and it's tearing me apart
It's a crime, crime of passion
It's a crime and you know, I just can't let you go
It's a crime, crime of passion

It's a crime
It's a crime
It's a crime of passion
It's a crime
It's a crime of passion




Of passion
It's a crime

Letra:temo que sim
Parodia:Safire - It's a Crime

Oxente! Para certas pessoas fico um alheio..(estrofe)

Não querem dar conhecimento.

Apenei não sei o quê fazer..

Não me levam quiça a serio.

Isso tudo me avassala

De mais falam nas costas

Submeto chacotas..

Me deixa louco.

Temo que sim,que isso não se melhora no tempo.(refrão)

Temo que sim...

Mas não acovardo

Devo lidar com situações difíceis

Tenho de dar a volta por cima.

Temo que sim...

Temo que sim...

Temo que sim...

Tenho medo de ser mamado o meu guito..(estrofe)

Nunca mais não sacar um tutu..

Não gostaria de acabar sem-teto...

Ainda que posso por um salafrário.

Isso tudo me avassala

De mais falam nas costas

Submeto chacotas..

Me deixa louco.

Temo que sim,que isso não se melhora no tempo.(refrão)

Temo que sim...

Mas não acovardo

Devo lidar com situações difíceis

Tenho de dar a volta por cima.

Temo que sim...

Temo que sim...

Temo que sim...

Isso tudo me avassala

De mais falam nas costas

Submeto chacotas..

Me deixa louco.

Temo que sim,que isso não se melhora no tempo.(refrão)

Temo que sim...

Mas não acovardo

Devo lidar com situações difíceis

Tenho de dar a volta por cima.

Temo que sim,que isso não se melhora no tempo.(refrão)

Temo que sim...

Mas não acovardo

Devo lidar com situações difíceis

Tenho de dar a volta por cima.

Temo que sim...

Temo que sim...

Temo que sim...

Temo que sim...

Temo que sim...

Temo que sim...

@neilet8785

It's a Crime that it never was released on a 12" but if you really listen to the whole album every song could have been a single but this was my favorite song on the LP. I really liked "I Wanna Make You Mine" as well and it wasn't released as a single either.
