The Thief

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... [Chorus:] 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 Everything you ever gave me Were just scraps you didn't want anyway All the people you discarded Guess you never thought you might want them back some day I've been loyal, I've been honest Well, to tell you the truth, I don't know what for I've knelt down with all the others But I'm not on my knees anymore... Last night, in the dark, in my mirror, I thought I saw you I threw the mirror on the floor And it kept breaking and breaking and breaking and breaking... --- The Thief - Lucy Kaplansky
