Love Crime
by: WestlifeI didn't know what to say
I tried to look the other way
When I saw you there with him
Acting like I don't care
But you can read from how I stare
That I'm hurting deep inside
But even though you look so good tonight
I'll be fine
But I know that for you
To be here without me by your side
It's a love crime
Why you act so surprised
I can tell from the guilt in your eyes
It's a love crime to me
Love has never been good to me
Maybe it's just my destiny
To live my life alone
Who was I trying to fool
Thinking our love would break the rule
Still I'm standing on my own
And even though you look so good tonight
I'll be fine
But I know that for you
To be here without me by your side
It's a love crime
Why you act so surprised
I can tell from the guilt in your eyes
It's a love crime to me
Here I am not knowing
Tell me what to do
But I know that for you
To be here without me by your side
It's a love crime
Why you act so surprised
I can tell from the guilt in your eyes
