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 im right

'cause we were ordinary, bored and wary of the things we said

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus] x 2

It ain't a crime to sing a sad song, one about love

Now that it's gone
