There's thieves among us
Painting the walls
All kinds of lies, and lies
I never told it all
What's in my pocket?
You never knew
You didn't know me well
So well as I knew you
And I know
And you know too
That a love like ours
Is terrible news
But that wont stop me crying
No, that wont stop me
Crying over you
I'm not a prophet
Old love is in me
New love just seeps right in
And it make me guilty
Why do you look like that?
It's not all that bad
I'll see you sometime
Sometimes lonely isn't sad
And I know
And you know too
That a love like ours
Is terrible news
But that won't stop me crying
No, that won't stop me
Crying over you
No, that won't stop me
Crying over you
No, that won't stop me
Crying over you
We two are makers
Just made this mess
Two broken hearts don't beat
Any less
There's thieves among us
Painting the walls
With all kinds of lies
And lies I never told it all
And I know
And you know too
That a love like ours
Is terrible news
But that won't stop me crying
No, that won't stop me
Crying over you
No, that won't stop me
Crying over you
No, that won't stop me
Crying over you
Painting the walls
All kinds of lies, and lies
I never told it all
You never knew
You didn't know me well
So well as I knew you
And you know too
That a love like ours
Is terrible news
No, that wont stop me
Crying over you
Old love is in me
New love just seeps right in
And it make me guilty
It's not all that bad
I'll see you sometime
Sometimes lonely isn't sad
And you know too
That a love like ours
Is terrible news
No, that won't stop me
Crying over you
Crying over you
Crying over you
Just made this mess
Two broken hearts don't beat
Any less
Painting the walls
With all kinds of lies
And lies I never told it all
And you know too
That a love like ours
Is terrible news
No, that won't stop me
Crying over you
Crying over you
Crying over you

I think it's about a couple, they are together, really care about each other, want to be together, but these "thieves", or "some other person" is coming between them and now they can't be together. She knows it can't be, he knows it can't, but they still want it. She meets other people, but feel guilty cause she still wants that one she can't have
Good analysis. The beauty of it is that the "thief" or other person could be anyone--disapproving friends, parents, or even an ex.

for me, i think that the song was written from the point of view of the thieves.. being with some one but falling in love with some one else, not wanting to but can't help it... "Old love is in me New love just seeps right in And it make me guilty" i love she and him
heart breaking..
such a beautiful song.
This song is so incredibly beautiful.
It's "never told at all" not "never told it all".
I don't think the "thieves" are actually people, but just the thoughts and feelings that they both have to do things that will ruin their relationship and hurt the other person.
i can relate to this song. it makes me cry almost everytime i hear it because "thieves" are what broke my bf and i up. =(
It's about 2 people in love and the relationship is doomed for whatever reason.
