Once I Stole a Heart

Once I stole a heart

I thought belonged to me,

Only to find out later

What I had claimed was not to be.

For this heart belong to someone else

Who loved it as much as I,

So with the grace of God

I choked back a tear and said good-bye.

Many times I've tried to justify

If that was right or wrong,

As I'm forever hearing stories

Of how they don't get along.

Today I saw you on the street

But you just passed me by,

Were your glasses just too dark today

Or was it the swelling in your eye?

Although the flame inside my heart

Still burns for you so bright,

I wonder why you take abuse

Why can't you see the light?

Once I stole a heart

I thought belonged to me,

Last night your heart was laid to rest

With no time to file a plea.
