[Verse 1]
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
[Pre Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
