(Ayy, yeah...)

You said you’d never leave, but silence tells the truth

I see the story written in your moves

I gave you love in the morning, you were gone by the night

You said it wasn’t my fault, but something don’t feel right

Now I’m standing in the silence where our history used to be

And every word you never said still lives inside of me

You keep sayin’ it’s me you need

But your heart won’t let it be

Ain’t it a crime, the way you treat my love?

You build me up, then push and shove

Ain’t it a crime, how you twist my mind?

You say you care, but you’re so unkind

I was always in your corner, when the world turned you away

Now you’re dancing with your freedom, and throwing it in my face

I gave my soul for the moment, gave my truth for your lie

You were light in the distance, but I chased you far too long

You keep sayin’ it’s me you need

But your heart won’t let it be

Ain’t it a crime, the way you treat my love?

You build me up, then push and shove

Ain’t it a crime, how you twist my mind?

You say you care, but you’re so unkind

I remember every moment, like it’s written in the dust

Every look was a promise, every touch was only lust

You’ve been hiding your truth behind your pretty lies

But I’m stronger than your story, my anger gave me back my spine

You keep sayin’ it’s me you need

But your heart won’t let it be

Ain’t it a crime, the way you treat my love?

You build me up, then push and shove

Ain’t it a crime, how you twist my mind?

You say you care, but you’re so unkind

I’m not waiting for your sorry, I don’t need you to pretend

But when the night feels heavy, I’ll be what you can’t defend

You’ll remember what you lost, when your pride starts to bend

’Cause I was more than your moment — I was your end

Ain’t it a crime, the way you treat my love?

You build me up, then push and shove

Ain’t it a crime, how you twist my mind?

You say you care, but you’re so unkind

Ain’t it a crime, what you done to me?

But I’m free now — I got my dignity!

(Ooh, ain’t it a crime...)

(Ooh, but I’m movin’ on...)

Ain’t it a crime... yeah, yeah...
