Thieves Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's thieves among us
Painting the walls
With all kinds of lies, and lies
I never told it all

[Pre Chorus]
What's in my pocket?
You never knew
You didn't know me well
So well, as I knew you

[Chorus]
And I know, and you know too
That a love like ours is terrible news
But that won't stop me crying
No, that won't stop me crying over you

[Verse 2]
I'm not a prophet
Old love is in me
New love just seeps right in
And, it makes me guilty

[Pre Chorus]
Why do you look like that?
It's not all that bad
I'll see you sometimes
Sometimes, lonely isn't sad
[Chorus]
And I know, and you know too
That a love like ours is terrible news
But that won't stop me crying
No, that won't stop me crying over you (Uh)
No, that won't stop me crying over you

[Bridge]
We two are makers
Just made this mess
Two broken hearts don't beat
Any less, oh
There's thieves among us
Painting the walls
With all kinds of lies, and lies
I never told it all

[Chorus]
And I know, and you know too
That a love, like ours
Is terrible news
But that won't stop me crying

[Outro]
No, that won't stop me crying over you (uh)
No, that won't stop me crying over you (uh)
No, that won't stop me crying over you
You
You

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
