lyrics

There was something in the way you used to look at me
I could feel at as I stared down at the floor
Something in the physics and the chemistry
That had me thinking I'd always be yours

There were satellites that carried me your signal
Waves of you were moving through the air
And any time I that I detected interference
I wouldn't say it. I wouldn't even dare.

But every time I thought I'd had the handle
Turns out my grip was never quite so strong

You came like a thief
And you made me believe
That everything I owned
Was yours to take as you pleased
So you took what you wanted
And you left me feeling haunted
By the vision of you walking out the door

You always overdo it when I'm driving
That's why I'm always handing you the keys
Cause somewhere between the pickled haze
And the attention
You find new ways to bring me to my knees

And even though I know how the night ends
I hold out hope that for once I am wrong

You came like a thief
And you made me believe
That everything I owned
Was yours to take as you pleased
So you took what you wanted
And you left me feeling haunted
By the vision of you walking out the door

Some things you can't take back once they've been spoken
Once it's been witnessed, you can't say it wasn't there
I am broken in a way that can't be put back together
There are pieces of me scattered everywhere

And everyone who never thought to tell me
Will now tell me that they knew it all along

You came like a thief
And you made me believe
That everything I owned
Was yours to take as you pleased
So you took what you wanted
And you left me feeling haunted
By the vision of you walking out the door
I can still see you as you're walking out the door
