lyrics

It seems that your heart
is constantly guarded
against his tongue’s vicious attacks

So tonight close your eyes
and you won’t have to cry
any longer or ever look back

So tonight lock the door
and meet me on the porch
and you’ll never even have to look back

Like an outlaw, I’ll vanish
as he starts to panic
when he wakes up and finds out you’re gone

And I’ll leave no trace
but the smile on your face
that the world hasn’t seen in so long

and he’ll never know that I’m coming
I will strike him when he least expects
I will trade all your sorrows
for a better tomorrow
make him wonder what I will do next
He’ll realize what he’s missing
as we ride off into the moonlight
I’m gonna rob him of his greatest fortune
like a thief in the night

And don’t let him try
to seduce you with lines
that he’s used
to keep you
in the past

In the cloak of the dark
I will rescue your heart
I’ll be silent and subtle and fast

It seems that his pride
hung your dreams out to dry
and his ego should be kept in check

Do me and a favor
and tell him to savor
the small bit of time
he’s got left

He can call on his army
Send the dogs out to find me
Put a six-figure bounty on my head

But I’ll make him know
just how cold and alone
he can feel in a big empty bed
