Like a thief he's come, like a thief he's gone
|
He's stolen your tears one by one
|
You're proud to love him, it's a foolish sign
|
You're a broken heart at the scene of the crime
|
|
And the night drags on, and the fever burns
|
Come to your senses, everybody learns
|
You sleep in sweet fire lost and blue
|
You're an empty doll in the power of a fool
|
|
Don't go sleeping with the past
|
Don't go praying he'll come back
|
Take a deep breath and deny
|
You could love a man like that
|
|
Don't go sleeping with the past
|
Don't go waking with a dream
|
There's no tenderness that's left
|
In the cracks you step between
|
|
If it looks like rain, if it makes no sound
|
It's an echo of pain on common ground
|
Love's like a junkie, addiction's a fact
|
Passion's a monkey you can't keep off your back
|
|
But he takes love and he turns it cold
|
He's just an iceman honey, ain't got no heart of gold
|
But he sees you and he runs from you
|
Come on and shake this shadow that you're clinging to
|
And he'll hurt you
|
And he'll run from you
|
Come on and shake this shadow that you're clinging to
|
