HEY THIEF...

I can't believe how long

I've let you steal from me

Plundering my days

Embezzling my dreams

You're like that leaf on a tree

That just will not fall off

I summon a tornado

But you keep holding on

A pebble lodged in the rocks

Unable to pry out

Blocking my path 

No alternative route

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Hey

Thief

Don't steal from me

I can't afford your memory

I'm innocent

I want released

Why must I pay this penalty

Hey

Thief

Hey Thief...

Don't you steal...

Don't you steal from me

~~*~~

You have swiped everything

Everything I've got

A toy without stuffing

Is just a piece of cloth

But you won't kidnap my future

As you have my past

That kind of ransom

Is far too much to ask

You've done all the damage

I will let you do

I was never sacred

To a thief like you

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Hey

Thief

Don't steal from me

I can't afford your memory

I'm innocent

I want released

Why must I pay this penalty

Hey

Thief

Hey Thief...

Don't you steal... 

Don't you steal from me
