Thief Lyrics

Midnight, staring at the ceiling

Can't fight how my heart's beating

Like someone is knocking at the door

And I've heard that voice before

It's harder than I thought to ignore

Saying you should give it up

Cause you're just not cool enough

So why bother trying to do what you love

Comparison's a thief faking love in the street

To every young heart that pays attention

Looks harmless like a child but he's been here a while

And knows the way to change what we see

To whatever he thinks we should see

Can't hide any of my feelings

He'll find out before I'm done speaking

I'm flirting with the fear of keeping up when I look at everyone

Maybe I just ran out of luck

It's not worth it anymore all this mental tug-of-war

I'm losing when I look at the score

Comparison's a thief faking love in the street

To every young heart that pays attention

Looks harmless like a child but he's been here a while

And knows the way to change what we see

To whatever he thinks we should see

Why don't we treat words like sticks and stones

I've found they have the power to break more than bones

Why don't we treat words like sticks and stones

I've found they have the power to break more than bones

Comparison's a thief faking love in the street

To every young heart that pays attention

Looks harmless like a child but he's been here a while

And knows the way to change what we see

Comparison's a thief faking love in the street

To every young heart that pays attention

Looks harmless like a child but he's been here a while

And knows the way to change what we see

To whatever he thinks we should see
