Crime & Punishment

you know the old saying about the price
the cost of pleasure is like the roll of the dice
words of caution, if you can't do the time,
if the cost is too much, then don't do the crime

when you are trying to correct an error
wanting to keep a love from fading away
committing continuous foolish blunders
is surely not the perfect way

when you make someone a promise
to respect the feelings in their heart,
you cant seccumb to your desires
if you truly want to remain a part

dam the fool who will not listen
who's selfish ways cause this love be spent
self inflicted wounds may bleed forever
for every crime, there is punishment
