Lyrics[]

House full of roses, a letter on the stairs

A tape full of messages, for anyone who cares

Collage of broken words, and stories full of tears

Remembering your life, 'cause we wish that you were here

Nothing is harder, than to wake up all alone

Realize it's not okay, it's the end of all you know

Time keeps passing by, but it seems I'm frozen still

Scars are left behind, but some too deep to feel

And some say this can't be real, and I've lost my power to feel tonight

We're all just Victims of a crime, when all's gone and can't regained

We can't seem to shelter the pain inside, we're all just Victims of a crime

Some days you'll find me, in a place I like to go

Ask questions to myself, 'bout the things I'll never know

What's left to find, 'cause I need a little more

I need a little time, can we even up the score?

And some say this can't be real, and I've lost my power to feel tonight

We're all just Victims of a crime, when all's gone and can't be regained

We can't seem to shelter the pain inside, We're all just Victims of a crime

And nothing lasts forever, for all good days it's true

I'd rather tried it all, for somehow saving you

It must have been the season, that've threw us out of line

Once I stood so tall, now I'm searching for a sign

So don't need your salvation, with promises and kind

And all those speculations, save it for another time

'Cause we all need a reason, a reason just to stay

Some just can't be bothered, to stick around another day

And some say this can't be real, and I've lost my power to feel tonight

We've all been Victims of a crime, when all is gone and can't be regained

We can't seem to shelter the pain inside (oh), we've all been Victims of a crime

Victims of a crime, living with this crime

I'm missing you, I'm missing you, I'm missing you, I'm missing you
