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 sneak 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 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
