Lyrics Sweetest of Thieves - Sheridan Smith

Sweetest of Thieves

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
