The Thief
I can stare at the blank page
But nothing is written down
What's in my heart
Is always drowned
I smoked the cigarette
Just to see if Id get addicted
When I did
I was not surprised I became the afflicted
(CHORUS)
I'm not surprised by my own downfalls
It's when things go right
I feel up against the wall
I'm not sure how I want to be perceived
People think I'm the good guy
When I'm actually the thief
I hide true feelings
keeping a blank slate
But sometimes these emotions
I cannot abate
I don't show my weakness
I don't show my strength
It wont do me any good
They know how to defeat you
(CHORUS)
I'm not surprised by my own downfalls
It's when things go right
I feel up against the wall
I'm not sure how I want to be perceived
People think I'm the good guy
When I'm actually The thief
I am not that girl
You see on the streets
I walk and talk like this and that
But we never truly meet
If I wear big black boots
Maybe a leather jacket or two
Will you be scared of me
Just like I am scared of you?
(CHORUS)
I'm not surprised by my own downfalls
It's when things go right I feel up against the wall
I'm not sure how i want to be perceived
People think I'm the good guy
When I'm actually The thief
I write poetry
I enjoy long walks on the beach
I have never been one to go to a big party
Im pretty innocent myself
And no one knows it
Because I never let it out
(CHORUS)
