When I go to sleep, you become my thief   Why don't you steal what you can keep?   But you won't let me be   You break into my dreams   And every day seems different   Sometimes I pretend you'll come back again   And you'll console the heart you stole   Have pity on the man   Who knows that you have gone   And has begun to break down      I feel almost possessed   So long as I don't lose this glorious distress then   You can take all I have left   I know it's over   If you can't be my lover   Be my thief      I'm so drowsy now, I'll unlock the door   What fades in time will hurt much more   So here's that happy scene   Where you come back to me   It's only found in fiction      I feel almost possessed   So long as I don't lose this glorious distress then   You can take all I have left   I know it's over   If you can't be my lover   Be my thief      "I didn't lead you on,   But there will always be   A little larceny in everyone      So hush and don't you cry   I'm trying to be kind   Because I have a perfect alibi"
