The Perfect Crime

Keith Landry

Where it all began.

THE PERFECT CRIME

When you told me you’d be leaving
Without even telling him goodbye
I couldn’t stop smiling all that evening
The closest I’ve been to being high
Now you’ve got my poor mind racing
Trying to keep from looking down the road
I can’t believe I’m replacing
The life I love for the one I’ve always known

When you told me you’d be leaving
Leaving him for what we had in mind
For the first time, I’m believing
I’m getting away with the perfect crime
I can’t keep my mind from racing
Racing down that life-long road
I know I should be pacing myself
In all I want from you as we go

When you told me you’d be leaving
Without ever telling him goodbye
