Thief Lyrics

Yeah ya hurt me

Then I hurt me too

Yeah ya left me

But then I left me too

When you found her

You rarely looked back

But you didn't break me

Only I can do that

You knew what you wanted

And you wanted out

And nothin' I coulda done

Woulda kept you around

They say my heart shattered

From the weight of impact

But you didn't break me

Only I can do that

I'd cry

But I wouldn't grieve

And you'd lie

But I never thought you'd leave

I nearly died

From the pain and the disbelief

You took parts of me I still can't retrieve

You might be a good man

But you're a goddamn thief

Remember what we were like

Before the fall

Do you ever sit and think about it

And how you destroyed it all

It was your writing

Right there on the wall

You took us down, baby

Cradle and all

You couldn't be the bad guy

So you'd tag me in

I was your scapegoat

You made me your, your offering

You'd save me a little

So I'd come crawling back

But you didn't break me, no

Only I can do that

I'd cry, but I wouldn't grieve

And you'd lie, but I never thought you'd leave

I nearly died, from the pain and the disbelief

You took parts of me I still can't retrieve

You might be a good man, but you're a goddamn thief

You held back the love I needed desperately

Guess you can be a good man who wasn't good to me
