It's a Crime
Safire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
In "It's a Crime," Safire sings about a relationship that is falling apart despite her feelings for her partner. The song opens with Safire expressing how the intense emotions she feels from their relationship can't be fully understood by her partner. She feels alone in these feelings and struggles to reconcile them with the confusion her partner expresses. Safire indicates the changing of the seasons, stating she's wanting summer while winter is on the way, a metaphor for how their relationship is cooling off.
Safire then discusses her vulnerability, noting that feeling her emotions so intensely is a weakness but one she can't deny. She can't imagine her life without her partner, and it feels like a crime to her if they're not together. A catchy chorus follows, reiterating how her strong feelings are tearing her apart and how their relationship has become a crime of passion. Safire sings that she can't let go despite how unhealthy their relationship may be at this point.
In the bridge, Safire panics and pleads for her partner's attention, noting that she can't get them off of her mind. The song ends with a repeat of the chorus, emphasizing how Safire is stuck in this cycle of pain and passion for her partner.

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.
@felicecinque
agree 100%
@rockybalboa2526
