Lyrics Love Is A Silent Thief - Katie Melua

Love Is A Silent Thief

Love is a deep wound
Love is a sharp knife
Love is a stranger
And love is a black light
Love makes you weary
Love reads the last rites
Love should be locked up
Love is a parasite
I don’t wanna try and work it out
‘Cause it causes too much grief
It’s gonna tear you up and spit you out
Love is a silent thief
Love is a banquet
Of which we all feared
Hungry for me
There’s never enough to eat
Love causes blindness
Gives you a cold sweat
Love is a language
Without an alphabet
All I know is we can’t live without it
Falling over our feet
Slipping through our fingers as we try to catch
Love is a silent thief
Love is a dry mouth
Begging for water
But there’s only oil
It’s getting harder and harder
Love is a stopwatch
Broken and twisted
When it takes hold
It’s like you never existed
Here I go again for it, for it
That is my belief
My heart is open and I can’t defend it
Love is a silent thief
