THIEF!
Like a thief who
comes in the night
leaving destruction and
insecurity in his wake
you
came into my life
and in the aftermath
stole my heart
took my trust
made me fall in love
I don't really know
where to turn now
Life has flipped
inside out
upside down
This wasn't supposed to be…
I thought you were long gone
You left me once, twice,
hurt and feeling the fool
and back then I hadn't
even acknowledged
what I now know
I loved you…
I love you
And what do I do with that
how do I tell you?
I shouldn't
that's what everyone says
they say you don't deserve me,
say you're without character,
say you've played with my heart…
Have you?
All I know is
I don't care what they say…
I just want you to bring back my heart
cradling it gently in your hands
I want it back or
I want you
to give me yours
