Cat Like Thief
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I fell down again
But I can't complain
Another false step
Could drive me insane
I only got myself here to blame
So I shake off the seat and I start again
Oh no I said I wanna go back
But I can't win the shit
And I'm gonna stay on track
Yeah, make a deal like that
I keep my head up but I never react
I wrote it down, a list a month ago
16 chapters of one thing you've blown
The best thing yet to help you
Through and through that she was
I feel her more than you
Don't leave
Don't leave her
(Yeah!)
I get up
Just to get knocked back down
I sit up
Just to get knocked all around
I wanna say something
But your out of town
I don't wanna have another short down
Say stand up (hey, yo)
Let's make it clear
Follow you home (no)
You were not there
You saw him coming (jump)
You disappear
Home alone every night seems so clear
You think you see me here
All alone
Got my crew coming now
One by one
Two by two
Three by three
Four by four
Let's do some more
Call me back when word is that she's gone
Cat like thief she stole air from my lungs
Leave me standing on this lonely grave
I dug it out in case she turns away
(Don't leave, don't leave her)
Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave her
You think you see me
All alone
Got my crew coming
One by one
Two by two
Three by three
Four by four
Let's do some more
Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave her
