Phantom Lyrics by Paper Anthem

A Victimless Crime

2022

[Intro]
I thought I saw a ghost when you walked in my room
I was a bit afraid to have you rearrange
I didn't want to go away
I didn't want to leave you
I didn't want to go away
I didn't want to leave at all

[Verse]
I can feel you through the grain of the webcam
Oh yeah, yes ma'am, I am afraid of what I'm feeling
Don't be too mean, baby
Cause when I look at you, it's true that I feel complete
And from a certain point of view I think that it is true that

[Pre-Chorus]
You and I, we're helpless within this
But maybe you're right, we're not meant to be

[Chorus]
I didn't want to go away
I didn't want to leave you
I didn't want to go away
I didn't want to leave at all

[Verse]
All summer I wore your heart on my sleeve but you had ripped mine off yours
I hated you for lying so I showed you my truth
For the record, I never cheated, but I wish that I had
Spent a month trying to tell you that I found someone else, 'cause

[Pre-Chorus]
You and I, we're helpless within this
But maybe you're right, we're not meant to be

[Chorus]
I didn't want to go away
I didn't want to leave you
I didn't want to go away
I didn't want to leave, at all
She made me, she made me do it
She made me, she told me to
She said, "Don't go away"
But I didn't want to leave at all

[Bridge]
Spent so much time this year just trying to solve for x
On a problem that has no solution
Now I'm afraid to open gifts from you, my love
Cause I know they're the last I'll ever open

[Pre-Chorus]
I thought I saw a ghost when you walked in my room
I was a bit afraid you would redecorate
I didn't want to go away
I didn't want to leave you
I didn't want to go away
I didn't want to leave at all

[Chorus]
She made me, she made me do it
She made me, she told me to
She made me, she made me do it
She made me, she told me to
I didn't want to go away
I didn't want to leave you
I didn't want to go away
I didn't want to leave at all
