The Thief Lyrics - Lucy Kaplansky

We were sitting at a cafe 

You were listening like you had nothing better to do 

You were feigning interest badly 

I guess interest is too hard for you 

So I stopped talking and just watched you 

Watched the way your mouth made faces at me 

Watched the way your eyes looked through me 

Looking for something new you could take from me 

And I know what you are 

You're the thief who steals from your friends 

I know what you are 

And everything in the world does not belong to you 

All the things you ever gave me 

Were just scraps you didn't want anyway 

All the people you discarded 

Well I guess you never thought you might want them back some day 

I've been loyal, I've been honest 

To tell you the truth, I don't know what for 

I've knelt down with all the others 

Well, I'm not on my knees anymore 

And I know what you are 

You're the thief who steals from your friends 

I know what you are 

And everything in the world does not belong to you 

Not you, not of you 

Last night in the dark, in my mirror 

I thought I saw you 

I threw the mirror on the floor 

It kept breaking and breaking and breaking and breaking 

I know what you are 

You're the thief who steals from your friends 

I know what you are 

And everything in the world does not belong to you 

I know what you are 

You're the thief who steals from your friends 

I know what you are 

And everything in the world does not belong to you 

Not me, not him, not her 

Not every single thing in the world 

Not me, not him, not her 

Not every single thing in the world 

(I know what you are) 

Not me, not him, not her 

Not everything in the world
