She & Him, “Thieves”

There’s thieves among us, painting the wall
With all kinds of lies, the lies I never told at all
What’s in my pocket? You never knew
You didn’t know me well, so well as I knew you
And I know, and you know too
That love like ours is terrible news
But that won’t stop me crying
No, that won’t stop me crying over you
I’m not a prophet, old love is in me
New love just seeps right in,
and makes me guilty
Why do you look like that? It’s not all that bad
I’ll see you sometime, sometimes lonely isn’t sad
And I know, and you know too
That love like ours is terrible news
But that won’t stop me crying
That won’t stop me crying over you
No, that won’t stop me crying over you
We two are makers, just made this mess
Two broken hearts don’t break any less
There’s thieves among us, painting the walls
With all kinds of lies, the lies I never told at all
…And I know, and you know too
That love like ours is terrible news
But that won’t stop me crying
That won’t stop me crying over you
No, that won’t stop me crying over you
