about

A song using the metaphorical idea that you're a thief when you steal someone's heart. This is a story about someone who promises they'll be there, and then they're not.

lyrics

This is the last song, one of many, many more to come.
This is the last time I believe. Because your love is a lie.

Chorus:
So he took my hand as I waited by the stairs
He said, "You don't trust me but I ain't going nowhere."
So he stole my heart in the latter part of the year
And just like a thief he disappeared
Cuz it's easier to leave

You are a stranger in her arms but the stage lights always win the fight

Chorus:

So you leave softly in hopes that it might let me be
You leave quiet, but it's nothing short of dying
