When I go to sleep you become my thief
|
Why don't you steal what you can keep?
|
But you won't let me be
|
You sneak into my dreams and every day seems different
|
Sometimes I pretend you'll come back again and you'll console the heart
|
you stole
|
Have pity on the man who knows that you have gone and has begun to break
|
down
|
I feel almost possessed
|
So long as I don't lose this glorious distress
|
Then you can take all I have left
|
I know it's over
|
If you can't be my lover, be my thief
|
I'm so drowsy now
|
I'll unlock the door
|
What fades in time will hurt much more
|
So here's that happy scene where you come back to me
|
It's only found in fiction
|
I didn't lead you on but there will always be a little larceny in
|
everyone
|
So hush and don't you cry
|
I'm trying to be kind because I have a perfect alibi
|
