1
Like a thief he's come, like a thief he's gone
2
He's stolen your tears one by one
3
You're proud to love him, it's a foolish sign
4
You're a broken heart at the scene of the crime
5
And the night drags on, and the fever burns
6
Come to your senses, everybody learns
7
You sleep in sweet fire lost and blue
8
You're an empty doll in the power of a fool
9
Don't go sleeping with the past
10
Don't go praying he'll come back
11
Take a deep breath and deny
12
You could love a man like that
13
Don't go sleeping with the past
14
Don't go waking with a dream
15
There's no tenderness that's left
16
In the cracks you step between
17
If it looks like rain, if it makes no sound
18
It's an echo of pain on common ground
19
Love's like a junkie, addiction's a fact
20
Passion's a monkey you can't keep off your back
21
But he takes love and he turns it cold
22
He's just an iceman honey, ain't got no heart of gold
23
But he sees you and he runs from you
24
Come on and shake this shadow that you're clinging to
25
And he'll hurt you
26
And he'll run from you
27
Come on and shake this shadow that you're clinging to
