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 belongs 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.
