Running Like Thieves
[Verse 1]
Walked into the wrong place
At what seemed the worst of times
Familiar glare in those eyes
Came as no surprise
Why did I come here? Why should I stay?
You did not reply
Stood transfixed, time wouldn't move
The seconds crept slowly by
[Chorus]
Running like thieves
Flee in desperation
Running like thieves
From a bad situation
[Verse 2]
Calling out to emptiness
Calling to ourselves
Lashing out with wasted words
Speaking without care
Wouldn't heed the warning
Though the others said beware
No one knows the feelings
Which I'm learning how to bear
[Chorus]
Running like thieves
Flee in desperation
Running like thieves
From a bad situation
[Bridge]
Yes, I tried, I tried to hide
The feeling I let go
What were you thinking?
I guess I'll never know
We never know who to blame
Why would things stay the same?
We never know who to blame
Why would they stay the same?
We never know who to blame
Why would they, why would they stay?
Never know who to blame
Why would they stay the same?
Why do they stay the same?
We never know who to blame
Why do they stay the same?
The same
[Chorus]
Running like thieves
Flee in desperation
Running like thieves
From a bad situation
