Why would you come 'round again
In the middle of the night?
The world is full of other men
To satisfy your appetite
But here you come at half past two
Come knocking on my door
You're searching and if I know you
You don't know what you're searching for
The door swings shut, it sounds like doom
You're standing in my living room

CHORUS:
Did you come in here to steal my heart?
You're a thief in an empty house
You cannot steal, you cannot start
You're a thief in an empty house
By night you come sneaking, the cupboard is bare
The floorboards are creaking, there is nobody there
You are wasting your time at the scene of crime now
You're a thief in an empty house

What hunger pulled you from your bed
And across the sleeping town?
Forgetting all that I had said
Expecting me to calm you down
Your lowered eyes, your restless hands
I've seen it all before
You need a friend who understands
And I know you hope for something more
You say my name, you touch my cheek
I pray that I am not too weak

CHORUS

I've nothing left to sacrifice
Why can't you set me free?
You cannot steal a treasure twice
Why won't you let me be?
My heart is missing from my chest
The wound is slow to heal
There is no thunder in my breast
Because there's nothing left to steal

CHORUS

And suddenly you cling to me
I stand as still as stone
How could I think that I was free
When you are taking all I own?
I know the skin beneath your clothes
And the bones beneath your skin
I never have been one of those
Fighting wars they cannot win
I'm full of hope, I'm full of dread
I let you lead me to the bed

CHORUS
