1. Intro

*The thief has come to steal, kill, and destroy.
But I have come so that you may have life, and have it to the full
This is my story about the thief*

2. The Stolen Love

Oh baby, baby the way you lead me on
And yet you had him until the break of dawn
The way you lead me onto the edge
And yet, you're the one that broke the pledge
Uh huh

You're following in your mother's footsteps like you've always feared
You've always seen life for what it is but didn't like how it appeared
To me, I was always in this fighting for the long haul
But to you I guess we never had "it all"

So go take your sad excuse for a happy life
You don't know the meaning of the word wife
So take the knife right out of my back
So I can be the one that's on the attack

This all is way too much
I can't believe you think this is OK
This all is way too much
I can't believe you would throw this away

And I'll get what I deserve
I'll get what I deserve

Love is patient and love is kind
But you're not kind and I'm running out of patience

You took the coward's way out when you choose to cheat
Now the thought of losing you has been so bitter sweet
Absence doesn't make the heart grow founder
It will only kill you and make me stronger

Love is patient and love is kind
But you're not kind and I'm running out of patience

I was your guardian angel
You left me face down
Karma's on its way back, back around

*Six years of what we worked to achieve was destroyed by a lust filled month. Things that were once ours, became his and hers and left nothing but one. One innocent soul who didn’t deserve this kind of heartache. One piece of heaven, put through hell.*

3. The Stolen Home

You don’t deserve this baby, no not one bit
I see the world being unfair to you but please don’t quit
This bad example is no excuse to give up love's design
You’ve just had a bad example on how it’s defined
I’ll send my armies of angles to protect my love
Don’t let her become a victim of her family tradition
But help be a God send from above

Oh baby, please don’t cry
You were never the reason we said goodbye
Don’t be scared to give love a try
All because your home was victim to a lie

I’ll pray and help you though your example’s mistakes
How love should be allowed to bend but how it never breaks
I’ll go to great lengths to make sure you have my attention
You shouldn’t be in the middle of family’s intervention
Wipe the tears out of your eyes
Your life is not something to compromise
I will never jeopardize daddy’s beloved
I will put you first, my dear

Oh baby, please don’t cry
You were never the reason we said goodbye
Don’t be scared to give love a try
All because your home was victim to a lie

Oh my dear, you can rise above it all
Ignore the world’s deception and answer the call
My darling, I pray that you will have it all
My darling, I’ll be there to catch you when you fall

Oh baby, please don’t cry
You were never the reason we said goodbye
Don’t be scared to give love a try
All because your home was victim to a lie

*Open wounds from you became scars on us both. But you were not the only one who caused those wounds.
There was another, there was a friend. Someone I could trust to have my back, but it turned out that selfishness was the knife and when I had my back turned, more wounds pierced my skin.*

4. The Stolen Friend

May God have mercy on your soul, 'cause I won't.
I won't even justify what you have done
Run, run away a pray you never see my face once more
'Cause that'll be the moment that we settle the score
I guess you're a loser, a creature of habit
A real life in your reach but you're too stupid to grab it

I will forgive, but I won't forget
I will forgive, but I won't respect

Was I too blind to see the lies you said to me?
You left my eyes deceived
My trust you can't retrieve
You were too fake to see your lies won't be killing me
I'm glad you had to leave
Oh, God, I can't believe

How can anyone stand to look at your face?
You bring the meaning of friend to disgrace
I'll spread the news all over the place
That you're a sad, sick waste of space
You're broken and you cover it up with your humor
But you'll soon realize it's a deadly tumor eating away at your need for control
I hope it kills you and eats away at your soul

I will forgive, but I won't forget
I will forgive, but I won't respect

Was I too blind to see the lies you said to me?
You left my eyes deceived
My trust you can't retrieve
You were too fake to see your lies won't be killing me
I'm glad you had to leave
Oh, God, I can't believe

How could you look in the mirror and call yourself a man?
How could you steal away this life for your selfish plan?
How could you do this?
Oh!

I will stay strong but a buried casket is where you belong
As for you, the guilt should slowly eat you away
And then, my stolen friend, you'll be your own living prey

*Out of the darkness started to come a light, a new leaf turned and a new lesson learned.
The continued blessings were relevant, but I couldn’t help but feeling I was still robed, robed at a chance of a new love.*

5. The Stolen Chance

You’ve got a lot of nerve and now I’ll get what I deserve
Well I already know it’s obvious
So now let’s put this all to rest
I wasted so much time
So I’ll take back what is mine

Spring has come and made everything new
Summer turned a new leaf just for you
Falling into change, a shot at new romance
Frozen acceptance into a new second chance

I’ll get back all my time
I’ll find someone I can call mine
You tried to steal my heart and throw it out to sea
But it’s here with me and I gave away the key
To God, it’s up to him to find someone I can trust
Someone not filled with lust

Spring has come and made everything new
Summer turned a new leaf just for you
Falling into change, a shot at new romance
Frozen acceptance into a new second chance

A new leaf turned, a new lesson learned
I’ll be better off
I’ve got my eye on a new season

Spring has come and made everything new
Summer turned a new leaf just for you
Falling into change, a shot at new romance
Frozen acceptance into a new second chance

*Second chances came by faith, but the impression was still there.
The impression that I would have to live with for the rest of our lives, the impression that you gave our friends that we had it
all planed out. When really, you had a different plan.*

6. The Stolen Impression

Let this go!

We had it all planned out and things were looking good
We built ourselves up from the ground and gave what we could
We had the drive and we kept on and you did too but you weren't in for the music
How could we trust you?

With a turn of events, You sold us out
Dead in our tracks is now a new route
I shout because you don’t even know
It was a blessing that we let you go

You ruined your chance to live this dream
You gave everything for a worthless fling
Your fake relationship just won’t last
You're easily put in the past
You don't even know the meaning of passion
Too busy chasing the latest fashion
My horoscope should have gave me a sign that you were out of your mind

We live for the music and we thought you did too but stealing hearts and crushing dreams is all you can do
Your friends and your family love you
But now that you took off your mask, your passion and love is gone
It makes no sense to ask

You ruined your chance to live this dream
You gave everything for a worthless fling
Your fake relationship just won’t last
You're easily put in the past
You don't even know the meaning of passion
Too busy chasing the latest fashion
My horoscope should have gave me a sign that you were out of your mind

Now you will weigh the weight of the world on your soul
Fighting a battle we all just let go

You ruined your chance to live this dream
You gave everything for a worthless fling
My horoscope should have gave me a sign that you were out of your mind

*Out of the ashes came a new fire that no one could ignite expect for God himself. The fire could not be extinguished by hollow wounds or open threats. I knew my enemy wanted to bring me down, wanted to move me into running from the truth and to a false identity. These
feelings were not out of the ordinary. Only this time around, I will not be deceived.*

7. The Theft

Oh, God save me
The thief has come to kill and destroy
He’s used this world as his moving decoy
You stop and you stare as the world passes by
You never think to act or even question why
Ask away!

About the way you feel and why you feel it and now can’t seem to shake it
Your heart keeps beating on as it feels so wrong
You’re breathing just to make it

You better watch your back, he’s on attack
He’s got you in his scope when you need to cope
So don’t close your eyes, he works in disguise

Here comes the thief to do more than just steal, kill, and destroy
He’ll make this world something you won’t want to live
Or even worse, you could become so passive that you let life pass you by

I’m gonna scare the hell out of you
Until you see this the way that I do

You better watch your back, he’s on attack
He’s got you in his scope when you need to cope
So don’t close your eyes, he works in disguise
Here comes the thief

I will never be deceived
I'll never be deceived
I will never be deceived
Oh, God, I'll never be deceived!

I'll never be deceived!

*I have fought your deception, the world’s deception, and fought the enemy himself. You came to steal, kill and destroy, but my God came to give me life. Now watch me live it to the full.*
