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 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 2] 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] [Outro] "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"
