Sweetest of Thieves - Sheridan Smith

If I could lay the word down at your feet, would it be enough?

Tracing the tears of broken promises for your tender touch

And I’ll take the weight and help you stand strong

But when I need you most, you’re long gone

Your love is the sweetest of thieves

It takes more than it needs

In awe and left me with this sorrow

No good in trying to make you believe

So tell me why

Does my foolish heart old on so tight?

Sat back to back watching the morning creep across an empty bed

It’s there in the distance of your cold goodbye, all in the words unsaid

Show me the fight and I’ll keep on fighting

But where’s the truth in just surviving?

Your love is the sweetest of thieves

It takes more than it needs

In awe and left me with this sorrow

No good in trying to make you believe

So tell me why

Does my foolish heart old on so tight?

Your love, your love, your love

Is the sweetest of thieves

Your love, your love, your love

Is the sweetest of thieves

Your love, your love

Is the sweetest of thieves
