Thief Lyrics by Vertigo

Malady & Medicine

2015

I bend, you break
I'll make the same mistakes I made
That drove you away
I can't begin to see the side of me
That made you want to stray

I don't want to know
What you do when you're lonely
I don't want to know
What he did with your body
I don't want to know
Hell, I don't want to worry
I just want to know
How it felt when you loved me

Let me get this straight before you leave
So I won't need you for my own relief

Why, why why?

Note to self: you're better off
Don't be hard on yourself
Just close your eyes, take a breath
If it had to be, then count yourself lucky
You knew of him before you found me

I don't want to know
What you do when you're lonely
I don't want to know
What he did with your body
I don't want to know
Hell, I don't want to worry
I just want to know
How it felt when you loved me

Let me get this straight before you leave
So I won't need you for my own relief
If I had one chance to say my piece when everything was right
I wouldn't have mistaken you for more than just a thief

I don't want to hear you say I'm sorry
(Once a thief, always a thief)
Cause I don't want to be loved
(Once a thief, always a thief)

Let me get this straight before you leave
So I won't need you for my own relief
If I had one chance to say my piece when everything was right
I wouldn't have mistaken you for more than just a thief
