If I could lay the word down at your feet
Would it be enough?
Tracing the tears of broken promises
For your tender touch
And I'll take the weight and
Help you stand strong
But when I need you most
You're long gone
Your love is the sweetest of thieves
It takes more than it needs
In awe and left me with this sorrow
No good in trying to make you believe
So tell me why
Does my foolish heart old on so tight?
Sat back to back watching the morning
Creep across an empty bed
It's there in the distance of your
Cold goodbye, and all in the words unsaid
Show me the fight and I'll keep on fighting
But where's the truth in just surviving?
Your love is the sweetest of thieves
It takes more than it needs
In awe and left me with this sorrow
I could just take my bruised pride
And leave
So tell me why
Does my foolish heart old on so tight?
Your love, your love, your love
Is the sweetest of thieves
Your love, your love, your love
Is the sweetest of thieves
Your love, your love
Is the sweetest of thieves
