lyrics

The Thief

Paradise lost when I was three
Spent a life hoping for mercy
When the water’s low, and the fish at sea
I find myself wandering secretly
Stealing only what I need, safe in the shadow, til you exposed me

chorus:
It’s hard to know what to believe
Cause there ain’t nobody cares for me
I'd do anything to please
If the love is scarce can you blame the thief?
If the love is scarce can you blame the thief?

A child cries out to be seen
Tears of salt fall and sting
Between house of cards and a pummeled beach
A fist of fire mighta set her free
She locked away her temper, sealed it up like treasure, and lost the only key

chorus

bridge
If all I stole was off the ground
Wouldn’t that be lost and found?
Will there still be stars in my crown?

chorus
