Lyrics
The 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 guess it's safe to say you're never coming back
And I understand why you wouldn't want to
I guess it's up to me to find a way to get to you
And I can't see you
And getting used to
Living in the midst of your perfection
And I'm so lost
How can you trust
Somewhere the sun is always shining
And there's just one last thing that I have to say
As we reflect on the mess of all of this I've made
It was cowardess that made me push you away
I was so afraid cause you were so much better than me
I guess it's safe to say you're never coming back
And I understand why you wouldn't want to
I guess it's up to me to find a way to get to you
