One too many white lies
made from a pay phone
three in the morning
before she came home
I put on a brave face
for oh so many years
tonight the mask slipped
I couldn't keep a grip
so in anger and in tears
It was a crime of passion
fate had done the casting
it was a crime of passion
she did me wrong
Every promise broken every vow we made
so without thinking I picked up the blade
did she notice a strange look
deep in my eyes
she never felt much pain but there again
I'm sure she felt surprised
It was a crime of passion....
Dearest why so sad why downcast eyes?
I’ll tell all our friends
I'm sure they'll sympathise
were only losers
because with you no one could win
now we have glory in our story
as old as original sin
