Thief

I’m not someone you fall in love with 
I’m not someone you trust your heart with

I’ll steal your love and run off with it 
Smash it to pieces, take a part
and use it to patch the hole within my own heart

If you ask me it’s a great profit 
not too bad for a pickpocket
the world is my market 
and I have eyes for the scarlet hearted
who’s love is the purest of them all 
but they are always the most guarded 
like cat and mouse I chase 
since I like the challenge of the game
My method is solid I make them feel wanted
and wait for a response
When they do I make my move
knowing it’s time to con
I fake a bond so strong
it gives the sense that nothing can go wrong 
while secretly I destroy their walls one by one
as soon as it started
I’ve already committed my crime
Taking a heart that wasn’t mine
After trust is established 
comfort is granted
and I am asked to stay
I’ll turn around and walk away.
Before the words I love you
can part from angelic lips,
I’d have boarded my ship and sailed faraway..
With a treasure upon my chest 
And new heart in my collection..

I’m not someone you fall in love with

Because I’m an oxygen thief
