Like a thief he's come, like a thief he's gone
He's stolen your tears one by one
You're proud to love him, it's a foolish sign

You're a broken heart at the scene of the crime

And the night drags on, and the fever burns

Come to your senses, everybody learns
You sleep in sweet fire lost and blue
You're an empty doll in the power of a fool


Don't go sleeping with the past
Don't go praying he'll come back

Take a deep breath and deny
You could love a man like that


Don't go sleeping with the past
Don't go waking with a dream
There's no tenderness that's left

In the cracks you step between

If it looks like rain, if it makes no sound

It's an echo of pain on common ground
Love's like a junkie, addiction's a fact
Passion's a monkey you can't keep off your back


But he takes love and he turns it cold
He's just an iceman honey, ain't got no heart of gold

But he sees you and he runs from you
Come on and shake this shadow that you're clinging to
And he'll hurt you

And he'll run from you
Come on and shake this shadow that you're clinging to
