You got your clothes and your books and your empty smile,
You took your time but you're finally out,
Now I can breathe, I can dance, I can run amok,
You think I'm cruel but you know that I'm right,
'Cause we were ordinary, bored and wary of the things we said

It ain't a crime to sing a sad song,
One about love, now that it's gone,
It ain't a crime to sing a sad song,
One about us, now that we're done

You give me wings, give me life when you're not around,
You were no good 'til I left you behind,
You made me gray, just a face in another crowd,
Now I'm alone and I'm one of a kind,
Yeah we were ordinary, quiet contrary to a stormy daze

It ain't a crime to sing a sad song,
One about love, now that it's gone,
It ain't a crime to sing a sad song,
One about us, now that we're done

And I knew that we were wrong, but you needed me to move you along,
And I know we didn't belong together,
We were ordinary, bored and wary of the things we said

It ain't a crime to sing a sad song,
One about love, now that it's gone,
It ain't a crime to sing a sad song, (it ain't a crime to sing a sad song)
One about us, now that we're done

It ain't a crime to sing a sad song
One about love, now that it's gone (to sing a sad song)
It ain't a crime to sing a sad song
One about us, now that we're done (to sing a sad song)

It ain't a crime to sing a sad song, one about love
Now that it's gone
