A Thief in the Night

Lyrics

Cat Jarrett

She sneaks into your heart
A thief in the night
You don't know she's there until it's too late
She takes your heart and leaves you with a kiss
And memories of burning nights between the sheets

She defies your love, won't let you give it to her
Then picks it from your pocket
Give her everything she wants and it's never enough
She doesn't know much of what she wants
But what she does she'll take from you

What is it you do to me?
Why won't you let me in?
I think I see you for who you are
And it turns out to be another game
I'm lost in your maze
Your laughter leading me on
When will you let me win?

She'll deny she wants your heart
And then remove it while you sleep
You can't read her, see what her truth is
Because it changes all the time
But you still want it anyway

Show her the canvas of your soul and she yawns
Then steals it away to hang in her own private gallery
Mercurial in movement and feelings
You never know which way she'll jump
All you do know is that the desire is so great it hurts

What is it you do to me?
Why won't you let me in?
I think I see you for who you are
And it turns out to be another game
I'm lost in your maze
Your laughter leading me on
When will you let me win?
