You stole something from me
I didn’t know I had it
You pretended to be good and, see,
Didn’t think you could do it
The thing was buried deep inside
there were others who tried digging
if somebody’d say you’d be the one
I’d laugh and say they’re kidding

The trusted found the vault
The fun one scratched the door
But neither of them came close to see
What waits behind the smalt.
Then you came with the whole arsenal
And one by one you fired your guns
Greed and lust in your silver eyes
When you touched the conquered prize.

And here we are
Months away
It was tempting
Now it’s empty
Walk away

But here we are
once again
You keep stealing
Spreading feeling
of.. imminence.

You thought that you’d have fun
with your new attractive toy
But used it just once and broke it down
Only you got out the joy
Tried to play from time to time
Forgetting the pieces were still mine
Never since it has worked the same
It’s you who is to blame.

When I realized that it’s gone
I cried like little girl
Forever was lost the light that shone
And it just made me hurl
There is no such thing as a froggy prince
Even the nice ones are caught bluffing
I’ve been guarding the empty box ever since
To hide that there is nothing.

And here we are
Years away
I was tempting
Now I‘m empty
Walk away

But here you are
inside my brain
Again stealing
Taking feeling
of .. innocence.
