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 among
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
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
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
