True Crime - Scott Helman

Close my eyes and I see your face

Happens 'bout thirty times a day

When will my perspective change?

Clarity comes and goes away, oh yeah

I wish I could read your mind

Like a baseball score or a weather report

I thought you were mine

But you were never ever mine

Yeah, you’re probably back at home

Watching movies in your bed

Got a guy in Illinois

Who got demons in his head

But maybe you should stop and take a good look at yourself, oh yeah

For what you did to me, girl

Yeah, you should do time

Can’t you see, girl?

Yeah, you really crossed the line

'Cause the words that you said that you never really meant

Meant your love was a lie

Now that’s a true crime, ooh

True crime

Yeah, I want to but I won’t say

Sometimes the bad guy gets away

I stack the pillows in your shape

But I know what my mom would say, oh yeah

Think you left no evidence

But I’m covered in your fingerprints

I thought you were mine

But you were never ever mine

Yeah, you’re probably back at home

Watching something in your bed

'Bout a guy with empty eyes

Who got forty years to life, yeah

Maybe you should stop and take a good look at yourself, oh yeah

For what you did to me, girl

Yeah, you should do time

Can’t you see, girl?

Yeah, you really crossed the line

'Cause the words that you said that you never really meant

Meant your love was a lie

Now that’s a true crime, ooh

True crime

After what you did to me, girl

I’m still not alright

Didn’t bleed, girl

But you cut me like a knife

'Cause the words that you said that you never really meant

Meant your love was a lie

Now that’s a true crime, ooh

True crime

Take the chalk and draw an outline

You can see where I fell

I’m not gonna solve this for you

You can do it yourself

Had to pull myself together and get some help

After what you did to me, girl (Oh yeah)

Yeah, you should do time (Do time)

Can’t you see, girl?

(Can't you see?)

Yeah, you really crossed the line

'Cause the words that you said that you never really meant

Meant your love was a lie

Now that’s a true crime, ooh

True crime

After what you did to me, girl (Did to me)

I’m still not alright (Still not alright)

Didn’t bleed, girl

But you cut me like a knife (Cut me like a knife)

'Cause the words that you said that you never really meant

Meant your love was a lie

Now that’s a true crime, ooh

True crime
