My Thief

[Verse 1]

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 break into my dreams

And every day seems different

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 4]

"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"
