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
