Here Lies a Thief
I notice everyone is focussed on what they’re doing
Doing, doing, doing, oh yeah…where you going, going?
I wanted you to stay around, but you’re gone away
Sick of the drama and the tears and anxiety my way
My reputation doesn’t matter much to me…me…
Yes, yes, my ego can be in flames for all I care frankly!
Yes…yes…me…
Is not you, you see?
So, I’m gonna, gonna shake it off today…today…okay?
I’m gonna kick it off like dirt on my boots like any other day
I seem to be dying while you seem to be lying and crying
But, I don’t believe, believe you no more, no denying…
Yeah, yeah no denying…I see you sighing and secretly prying…
You think I don’t, don’t see you…got my tongue forever tying...
Why would, would you be doing this to me?
Being a liar and a thief of happiness possibly
I listen to the brewing gossip and pour myself a cup of tea
I’d rather have a tasty, warm donut and a mug of lovely coffee
I needed you to be reliable, reliable, but you became extremely unstable
You told everyone my business and spread it like wild fire like you’re able
My reputation doesn’t matter much to me…me…
Yes, yes, my ego can be in flames for all I care frankly!
Yes…yes…me…
Is not you, you see?
So, I’m gonna, gonna shake it off today…today…okay?
I’m gonna kick it off like dirt on my boots like any other day
I seem to be dying while you seem to be lying and crying
But, I don’t believe, believe you no more, no denying…
Yeah, yeah no denying…I see you sighing and secretly prying…
You think I don’t, don’t see you…got my tongue forever tying...
Why would, would you be doing this to me?
Being a liar and a thief of happiness possibly
I give special attention to those who are in need…in need…
Give me some space to recollect myself…that, I need indeed
I understand your motives and intention is genuine as far as I know
But, you gonna know…you gonna know you gotta go, so please go
You hurt my feelings in all the awkward ways possible…possible…
My reputation doesn’t matter much to me…me…
Yes, yes, my ego can be in flames for all I care frankly!
Yes…yes…me…
Is not you, you see?
So, I’m gonna, gonna shake it off today…today…okay?
I’m gonna kick it off like dirt on my boots like any other day
I seem to be dying while you seem to be lying and crying
But, I don’t believe, believe you no more, no denying…
Yeah, yeah no denying…I see you sighing and secretly prying…
You think I don’t, don’t see you…got my tongue forever tying...
Why would, would you be doing this to me?
Being a liar and a thief of happiness possibly
You think me gullable and weak, but I’m truly strong and sensible
I find it odd that you want to bring me down…yeah, you wanna bring me down
Then, you expect to lift me up from the ground…where I was gravity-bound
I find it silly that you can’t apologize and won’t refuse the I’m-always-right crown
Interesting you push this aside so casually with such booming gossip sound
