Lucy Kaplansky - The Thief lyrics

rate me

We were sitting at a cafe

You were listening like you had nothing better to do

You were feigning interest badly,

I guess interest is too hard for you

So I stopped talking, and just watched you

Watched the way your mouth made faces at me

Watched the way your eyes looked through me

Looking for something new you could take from me...

<CHORUS>

And I know what you are

You're the thief who steals from your friends

I know what you are and

Everything in the world does not belong to you

Everything you ever gave me

Were just scraps you didn't want anyway

All the people you discarded

Guess you never thought you might want them back some day

I've been loyal, I've been honest

Well, to tell you the truth, I don't know what for

I've knelt down with all the others

But I'm not on my knees anymore...

<CHORUS>

Last night, in the dark, in my mirror,

I thought I saw you

I threw the mirror on the floor

And it kept breaking and breaking and breaking and breaking...

<CHORUS> repeat
