To steal a heart and then forget, a game you play,
To steal a heart and then forget, a game you play.
For you, no consequence, no price to pay,
While ruin blossoms in my heart's decay.
To steal a heart and then forget, a game you play.
That you'll be mine, a dream I can't retain,
Yet hope's frail whisper stings me with its pain.
That hope's frail whisper stings me with its pain.
The false comfort you offer, a cruel refrain,
To a dying man, a reed that can't sustain.
To a drowning soul, a straw he tries to gain.
To steal a heart and then forget, a game you play.
How can I bear to gaze on you, the sight,
How can I bear to gaze on you, the sight?
Your face, a tyrant, floods my eyes with light.
Your face, a tyrant, floods my eyes with light.
To steal a heart and then forget.
As now we'll seek their grace, and beg and plead,
As now we'll seek their grace, and beg and plead.
My heart, a cloak, before their feet I spread.
My heart, a cloak, before their feet I spread.
To steal a heart and then forget, a game you play.
To steal a heart and then forget.
