Thief Songtext
von Sam Smith

You′re on New York time
Over here it's way past midnight
I drank a bottle of wine
So I could sleep tonight in silence
You see, I′ve had no time to rest
'Cause my suspicion's been out running out
And there is no method, no medicine
That could cure a love like this

′Cause all this time I′ve been asleep
You've been dancing with deceit
Lost in another world
But I have chosen to forgive
And if the fool in you forgets
I′ll take my love back like a thief
Like a thief


They say I'm a one of a kind
I′m like a gold rush running right through you
When I burn like eternal pine
Shake an ocean to the ground, ooh
You don't know how much you′ll miss me
I'm like a queen inside your kingdom, mm
And there is no kingsmen, no cavalry
That could ever get me back, no, oh, no

I'll be a thousand miles away
Leave you to your prayers to pray
Lost in another world
But I have chosen to forgive
And if the fool in you forgets
I′ll take my love back like a thief
Like a thief, mm
Like a thief

Like a thief, boy, I will run
Leave in what way I will come
Like a thief, boy, I will run
Leave in what way I will come
Like a thief, boy, I will run (I will run)
Leave in what way I will come
Like a thief, boy, I will run (oh)

I′ll take my love back like a thief
And maybe one day you will see
Baby, you have heaven
