Katie Melua - Love Is a Silent Thief lyrics

Love is a deep wound love is a sharp knife
Love is a stranger and love is a black light

Love makes you weary
Love reads the last rite
Love should be locked up love is a parasite

I don’t wanna try and work it out
‘Cause it causes too much grief
It’s gonna tear you up and spit you out
Love is a silent thief

Love is a banquet
Of which we all feared hungry for more
There’s never enough to eat

Love causes blindness gives you a cold sweat
Love is a language without an alphabet

All I know is we can’t live without it
Falling over our feet
Slipping through our fingers as we
Try to catch it love is a silent thief

Love is a dry mouth begging for water
But there’s only oil
It’s getting harder and hotter

Love is a stopwatch broken and twisted
When it takes hold
It’s like you never existed

Here I go again for it, for it
That is my belief
My heart is open and I can’t defend it
Love is a silent thief
