lyrics

I make a wish and I grant it
That wish is second-handed
What is yours I will make mine
Just give it time

I am a liar and a thief
I’ll tell you anything I need you to believe
Are you afraid of what I need
You’ll never know because it’s easier to think
I’m just a liar and a thief

Is it the truth or are they just words
If you don’t know, you can’t hurt
The truth, I will make it mine
Just give it time

And I hate myself for it
You don’t deserve this
But I gotta get what I gotta get
The truth I will make it mine
What is yours I will make mine
Just give me time

I’ll tell you anything I need you to believe
Are you afraid of what I need
I’ll take your heart in my hands and take it with me
I’m just a liar and a thief
