Lola Kirke - The Crime

You always said that you would die young,
made me feel so damn old
I only loved you cause I thought you were fun,
at the time guess I was easily sold
We kissed to Pavement in someone else's basement
Got high in borrowed cars
You were the brave one by my estimation
That's how you stole my heart

CHORUS
It's so hard to draw the line
But I loved you for too much time
Confessions at night
Clues in plain sight
Don't mean a thing when you love the crime
Legends of the Fall played on your dad's ex-wife's tv
As he quietly explained dark web alien conspiracies
It was April and much too late for angels or scenes of nativity
Smoking resin wouldn't get me into heaven
But close to feeling free

CHORUS
It's so hard to draw the line
But I loved you for too much time
Confessions at night
Clues in plain sight
Don't mean a thing when you love the crime

Fuck the World you told me but for once I did not agree
What I did not realize was that you meant it literally
You kissed your best friend while I paid for you rent, lent you my debit card
You weren't so pretty after all that whiskey, how'd we get so far?

CHORUS
It's so hard to draw the line
But I loved you for too much time
Confessions at night
Clues in plain sight
Don't mean a thing when you love the crime
The Crime

I left the land of the flowers and wasted hours in one piece
I don't want my dignity back, just the time you took from me
Your disguised blessing helped me learn my lesson
Now I plainly see
If they say I'm trouble, then you oughtta double the space in between
