"Love Crimes" lyrics

I see something in a girl who see's nothing in me
A dollar for a smile but I'll give one out for free
And my word's been caged since I picked up this guitar
On how I feel, how I feel, how I feel

I drive to the gates of hell, get her out of any drama
I wonder if my good vices will help me out with karma
But when her eyes lock mine, I'll turn into a coward
Tell her you love her, you love her, you love her

If only you could see
All the heartache you put on me
Talking to me every day
I'm watching my dreams slip away
And I wonder if you noticed my smile
It ain't been around in a while
I've had too many broken times
Darlin, these ain't love crimes

I'm trying to get by in a world I didn't create
God made you, but the devil hangs you like bait
Not a single scar on my heart came from an enemy
So do you hate me, you hate me, you hate me

I'll accept the beauty of imperfection
I'll look for you and hope it's rewarded with affection
I asked the birds about you, they said the same damn thing
On how you're better off, better off, without me

If only you could see
All the heartache you put on me
Talking to me every day
I'm watching my dreams slip away
And I wonder if you noticed my smile
It ain't been around in a while
I've had too many broken times
Darlin, these ain't love crimes
These ain't love crimes
