lyrics

THIS THIEVING HEART

Break this thieving heart and place it in the ground
Turn and walk away as darkness falls all around
Pick up all the pieces of your life as if we never met

And maybe then I'd know how to love

Crucify this thieving heart- bind it with thorns
Strike it with your fists and subject it to scorn
Pledge undying faithfulness and then betray it with a kiss

And maybe then I'd know how to love

Take this thieving heart- do with it what you must
Feast upon the flesh and betray its every trust
Drink deeply from the cup it laboured so earnestly to fill

And maybe then
Just maybe then
Maybe then I'd know how to love

Created on Treaty 6
