Take your time to notice how great it could've been
Search your mind and tell me you don't understand
That you weren't quite the one who made me regret all those moments alone
And that it was not your fault, I kinda messed up when I thought you were wrong

But we fought, and we thought that this was love that could've worked
And you know, as we go, now we should move on with our luck

I am a man of my word
But you still don't know how it hurts
We've been feeding this battling dove
So that's why I'll call it illegal love

So we broke, we fell down, I never thought I'd be alone
But it's past, didn't last, and all that went on is now gone

I am a man of my word
But you still don't know how it hurts
We've been feeding this battling dove
So that's why I'll call it illegal love

And oh, we'll last over time
But I won't commit the same crime
Though it could have been more than just love
More than just love
