my thief

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

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 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 didn't lead you on
