The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Love Crime" by the artist "Westlife"

Contents

The song "Love Crime" by Westlife depicts the painful experience of witnessing an ex-lover enjoying themselves with someone new. The lyrical hero tries to appear indifferent, but his "stare" betrays the pain he feels deep inside.

He labels her actions as a "love crime", emphasizing that being with someone else after their relationship is a betrayal. The line "Why you acting like you’re surprised?" suggests that she is likely aware of his feelings and feels guilty.

The hero feels betrayed by love, believing that being alone is his fate. He questions whether he was naive to hope that their love could defy his destiny. Despite the pain, he tries to maintain composure and convince himself that he'll "be alright".

The repetition of the phrase "love crime" amplifies the feeling of resentment and bitterness. The question "Tell me what to do?" directed at himself, reveals his helplessness and despair.

I didn't know what to say

I tried to look the other way

When I saw you there with him

Acting like I don't care

But you can read from how I stare

That I'm hurting deep inside

But even though you look so good tonight

I'll be fine

But I know that for you

To be here without me by your side

It's a love crime

Why you act so surprised

I can tell from the guilt in your eyes

It's a love crime to me

Love has never been good to me

Maybe it's just my destiny

To live my life alone

Who was I trying to fool

Thinking our love would break the rule

Still I'm standing on my own

And even though you look so good tonight

I'll be fine

But I know that for you

To be here without me by your side

It's a love crime

Why you act so surprised

I can tell from the guilt in your eyes

It's a love crime to me

Here I am not knowing

Tell me what to do

But I know that for you

To be here without me by your side

It's a love crime

Why you act so surprised

I can tell from the guilt in your eyes

It's a love crime to me
