Thief in the Night

you took my heart from me

you worked and you tried

and you won it from me

but you wouldn't give me yours

it was so carefully guarded and locked away

I had no chance

now you're gone

you've cut and run

the sad little boy who was too afraid to love

and be loved

will never do better than me

so keep that piece of my heart

if it makes you happy

for unlike yourself

I can love enough to allow you to steal a little
