Running Like Thieves Lyrics

Walked into the wrong place,
at what seemed the worst of
times. The familar glare in
those eyes
came as no surprise.
Why did I come here?
Why should I stay?
You did not reply.
We stood transfixed,
time wouldn't move,
though seconds crept slowly
by.

Running like thieves,
flee is desperation.
Running like thieves,
from a bad situation.
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.
Running like thieves,
flee in desperation.
Running like thieves,
from a bad situation.

Yes I tried,
I tried to hide,
the feelings I let go.
What you were thinking,
I guess I'll never know.
We never know who to blame.
Why wouldn't things stay the same?
