Lyrics

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, 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"
