Robber Boy
I need you
I want you
Yeah, you know how it goes
Sitting next to the phone
Waiting for it to ring
Looking at the clock
Counting as the seconds tick away
You held me in your arms once
Trailing kisses down my neck
You were my solace
My life
But what now, boy?
Nothing matters 'cause you've already turned away
I thought I could count on you
Thought you were the one
You told me you loved me
You told me you're mine
Yeah, I see you
Walking down the street
Arms around her
I used to believe in fairy tales
I used to believe in fate
I used to count the hours
Until we met again
Now I curl up in my bed
Tears streaking down my cheeks
Pain filling my soul
You know what, boy?
You ain't what I thought you were
Yeah, I needed you
I wanted you
Yeah, you knew how it went
Now I've got another to play with
But you, robber boy-
You robbed me of my heart
I'm heartless
Cruel
Yeah, that's what they all say
I slice my wrists
And let the blood run dry
Yeah, baby, yeah
Life has no more meaning
'Cause you've taken my life
My soul and turned it all away
I may be cruel
But you are crueler still
You had made promises
That you never kept
Leading me on
Then kicking me away
I was a fool, a love-sick fool
I should know better
Yeah, for real, I should
So tell me this-
Why do I still think of you?
Why do you invade my thoughts
Each and every day?
Why do I hold your image
In my minds eye?
Crying until bittersweet dreams claim me
Even then I have no serenity
'Cause you're there
And in my dreams
It's still the same
We're still together
Still in harmony
So tell me, boy
You've been cruel
Breaking promises left and right
So tell me-
Why can't I get you out of my mind?
I want you
Yeah, you know how it goes
Sitting next to the phone
Waiting for it to ring
Looking at the clock
Counting as the seconds tick away
You held me in your arms once
Trailing kisses down my neck
You were my solace
My life
But what now, boy?
Nothing matters 'cause you've already turned away
