Like a thief he's come, like a thief he's gone 
He's stolen your tears one by one 
You're proud to love him, it's a foolish sign 
You're a broken heart at the scene of the crime 
 
And the night drags on, and the fever burns 
Come to your senses, everybody learns 
You sleep in sweet fire lost and blue 
You're an empty doll in the power of a fool 
 
Don't go sleeping with the past 
Don't go praying he'll come back 
Take a deep breath and deny 
You could love a man like that 
 
Don't go sleeping with the past 
Don't go waking with a dream 
There's no tenderness that's left 
In the cracks you step between 
 
If it looks like rain, if it makes no sound 
It's an echo of pain on common ground 
Love's like a junkie, addiction's a fact 
Passion's a monkey you can't keep off your back 
 
But he takes love and he turns it cold 
He's just an iceman honey, ain't got no heart of gold 
But he sees you and he runs from you 
Come on and shake this shadow that you're clinging to 
And he'll hurt you 
And he'll run from you 
Come on and shake this shadow that you're clinging to
