The Boy and the Thief
[Instrumental]

The boy turned to the thief and said, "I don't think this is fair."
The thief said, "Well, I'm sorry, but I just took what was there
And your heart was there and ripe for the taking
You see, you have to learn, you should always lock your doors
If I can get inside then the fault's not mine, it's yours
And you should be insured against professional break-ins."

That's just what a thief does and
Have you ever known a thief in love?
And oh she said she liked me
Oh she said she loved me
She always said she'd leave, but she never said goodbye
Goodbye

The bleeding heart said, "Well, I've had my fun
And while the battle's lost, still the better person won
And I knew all along this was the bed I was making
You see, I knew the signs but I didn't have a choice
'Cause while the heart gets all the hurt
The head has all the voice
And I just made no noise
And again I went breaking."

That's just what a heart does and
What's a heart if it's never known love?
And oh she said she liked me
Oh she said she loved me
She always said she'd leave, but she never said goodbye
Goodbye
So it seems the boy just had himself to blame
This is what you get if you don't play games
And oh she said she liked me
Oh she said she loved me
She always said she'd leave, but she never said goodbye

There goes another one
You think you've found it, but you find you're wrong
The thief will leave 'cause they always do
But it's somehow always news to you
