Stealing
Nicole Theriault Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel you're stealin', stealin' my heart away
That's you're stealin', stealin' my heart away

You've got that funny kind a look in your eyes
What are you thinkin', I don't like taesin'
You said it's something but I'll just have to wait
You give no reason, and so I wait patiently
The next day, I get a knock on the door
It's not the post-man, but I still open the door
To my surprise a dozen roses I see
And wish a letter that is addresses to me

I'm afraid you're starting something
I can not handle and I'm getting weaker

I feel you're stealin', stealin' my heart away
And I'm afraid of this feeling
Cause you're stealin', stealin' my heart away
And I'm about to let go, it's just a matter of time

I try to fight this feelin' inside of me
You're so appealin', you make it hard for me
My emotion's turning round and round
I'm getting dizzy, see what you're doing to me

With my head in my hands, I contemplate
On the possibility of heartbreak

I feel you're stealin', stealin' my heart away
And I'm afraid of this feeling
Cause you're stealin', stealin' my heart away
And I'm about to let go, it's just a matter of time

Matter of time
Matter of time

Don't pressure me cause I don't crush easy
And all my heart is not made of stone
I just don't wanna let go for nothing
And give my heart away to be torn

I feel you're stealin', stealin' my heart away
And I'm afraid of this feeling
Cause you're stealin', stealin' my heart away
And I'm about to let go, it's just a matter of time

Matter of time

Stealin' my heart away
Stealin' my heart away




I feel you're stealin'
Stealin' my heart away
