Steal

If I could steal one thing from you,
What would I take?
A lustful smile? A kiss?
Would that be a mistake?

Would I steal a moment,
Where we could just be?
Would I steal your heart,
Would you let me?

Would I steal the memories,
That hurt you so much?
Would I steal my reflection from your eyes,
Could I steal your touch?

Could I steal a giggle,
Of flirtatious disposition.
Could I steal some luck?
Cause I'm tired of this wishing.

Could I steal the look,
The one you used to give me?
The look on your face,
Every time you were with me?

But if push came to shove,
This answer I'd give you.
I'd steal back my heart,
It has no right to be with you.
