Not understanding seemingly simple Broadway lyrics

A couple queries here:

"You never wanted enough - Alright, tough, I don't make that a crime" (from Good Thing Going/Merrily)
I'm having a hard time syntactically with the word "tough" here. Does it mean: "Alright, it was tough, but I don't make it a crime" ?

And the other one:

"A shadow passed. A shadow passed. Yearning for the fool it called a home" (from Left Behind/Spring Awakening)


Any takers?

It means, "tough" as in "tough noogies," or "tough sh*t."

When I hear "tough" used that way, in its own clause like that, I hear it as "all right, tough luck, [but] I don't make it a crime" -- but I don't know the context.

I interpret the SA lyric as this:
"Moritz (his shadow/ghost (?) has just left this world- still yearning for acceptance, openness, a true "home" when all he got were fools (parents)!


...and the challenge I find with the "Good Thing Going" line is how quickly the words "You never wanted enough, all right, tough, I don't make that a crime" happen in the vocal line- with commas, but no breath marks. As well as the adjacent T's in "righT, Tough, I..." I'm tying to convey the implied meaning, with the necessary pauses, but the score doesn't allow me! Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
