The Thief
F.O.O.L Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hope you're happy now
I could never make you so
You were a hard man
No harder in this world
You made me cold and you made me hard
And you made me the thief of your heart

Winter is cold oh!
But you're colder still
And for the first time
I feel like you're mine
I share you with the one who will
Mend what falls apart
And turn a blind eye
To the thief of your heart

Oh you lost
Oh you lost all
You lost all
You lost all

I'll never wash these clothes
I want to keep the stain
Your blood to me is precious
Nor would I spill it in vain
Your spirit sings
Though your lips never part
Singing only to me
The thief of your heart

Oh you lost

Oh you lost
Oh you lost all
Lost all

Oh you lost




Oh you lost all
Lost all

Overall Meaning

The song "The Thief" by F.O.O.L is a deeply emotional song that explores various themes. In the first few lines, the singer seems to be addressing someone who has hurt them and made them miserable. They express their hurt and frustration at not being able to make that person happy despite their best efforts. The next few lines seem to describe the person who caused this pain as a "hard man," and someone who has made the singer cold and hard themselves. However, despite this emotional turmoil, the singer takes on the role of "the thief of your heart." It's possible that the singer is referring to themselves as the one who stole the heart of the person who hurt them, or even more likely, they are admitting that they have stolen someone's heart in the past and that they are carrying the guilt of that act.


In the next verse, the singer once again depicts their object of affection as cold and uncaring. They contrast this with the singer, who seems to be aware that this person has another lover. However, the singer is content to share the object of their affection with the other person, knowing that they alone have access to the person's true thoughts and feelings. In this way, the singer is once again acting as the "thief of your heart."


The final verses of the song are even more telling. The singer states that they will never wash the clothes they have stained with the other person's blood, indicating a violent confrontation between the two. The singer seems to view the act of taking the other person's blood as sacred, however, and declares that they would not spill it in vain. The last line of the song once again reiterates the central role of the singer as the "thief of your heart."
