Love Me Like A Crime

[BPM is 140 and in key of E minor]

[Intro – spoken, deadpan]
I don’t believe in love…
But I’m very good at it.


[Verse 1 – talky, sarcastic]
You say forever, I say “cute”
I get bored too easily with you
Pretty lies and cheap romance
I just do it for the thrill of it


[Pre-Chorus]
Heaven doesn’t feel this good
You’d leave me if you understood
But you won’t, you never do
That’s why I always choose you


[Chorus – tight, addictive]
Love me like a crime tonight
Cross the line, don’t ask me why
No regrets, no alibi
You’re the victim, I’m the high


[Post-Chorus – chanty hook]
Crime, crime — love me like a crime
Crime, crime — do it every time


[Verse 2]
I don’t need a heart to break
I just take and take and take
Call me toxic, call me cold
You knew everything I sold


[Pre-Chorus]
You should run, but you won’t go
You like dancing on death row
Say my name like it’s divine
You’re addicted to the lie


[Chorus]
Love me like a crime tonight
Cross the line, don’t ask me why
No regrets, no alibi
You’re the victim, I’m the high


[Post-Chorus]
Crime, crime — love me like a crime
Crime, crime — do it every time


[Bridge – stripped, spoken, unhinged calm]
I don’t miss you when you leave
I just like the way you bleed
Love’s a game I always win
Let me ruin you again


[Final Chorus – bigger, sharper]
Love me like a crime tonight
Say it hurts but stay the night
No escape, no reason why
You’re the low and I’m the high
