Scene Of A Perfect Crime Lyrics
my eyes are jaded and complicated
tired of the liars and the masqueraded
stealing our innocence away
like a thief in the night
who took away our faith
in what we know to be right
that was another world then
that was another time
you can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime
well, you can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime
whatever became of the child i was
you know i never want to lose her
no i won't give her up
and now my heart is harder
my skin is getting tougher and tougher
that was another world then
that was another time
you can never go back to the place where love is blind
well, you can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime
whatever became of our sweet blind love
as long as we could be together
it was more than enough
now we're all grown up and we need so much
i never knew that the price
would go up as such
that was another world then, then
that was another time
well, you can never go back to the place where love is blind
well, you can never go back to the place where love is blind
well, you can never go back to the place where love is blind
you can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime
tired of the liars and the masqueraded
stealing our innocence away
like a thief in the night
who took away our faith
in what we know to be right
that was another time
you can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime
well, you can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime
you know i never want to lose her
no i won't give her up
and now my heart is harder
my skin is getting tougher and tougher
that was another time
you can never go back to the place where love is blind
well, you can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime
as long as we could be together
it was more than enough
now we're all grown up and we need so much
i never knew that the price
would go up as such
that was another time
well, you can never go back to the place where love is blind
well, you can never go back to the place where love is blind
well, you can never go back to the place where love is blind
you can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime

A song about the loss of innocence and idealism as youth fades away...and how you end up tough and calloused even as you try to defend your gentler natures. The losses are "the perfect crime", and you can never go back because the scene is all across your life.
I believe the song is about a “first love” and how the relationship went awry. The “perfect crime” was committed against the protagonist who trusted that her lover would take care of her, throughout her life. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out and her eyes became jaded by the person that waited to show their true self (masqueraded). After you lose trust, you can never go back to believing in the fairytale that was believed about how life would go. The scene of the crime was the place where full trust was given to another person and the trust was squashed. Once trust is squashed, it is never given again. Hence, you can never go back to the scene of giving full trust to another - the scene of the perfect crime.
