Liebe ist ein Dieb English translation
von Kontra K

Love is a thief
With a gun in her hand, she stole my heart
Like cigarettes and gasoline
Tell me, who picks up all the pieces behind us?
Love is a thief
She stole my heart with a gun in her hand
Like cigarettes and gasoline
Tell me, who picks up all the pieces behind us?
Love is a thief

Only you see my light
And even if they tell you I'm bad
I make the night as bright as the moonlight
Thank God you're so pretty
The scars are on your face, bite my lips until they're red


Why are you screaming again? And I'll scream again
Instead of screaming we should fuck instead
Because no one will give us back our time
The mirror breaks and I touch the stove
Then we kiss again and make up in bed
You're in my head like the voice I hear
So please take your hand from my heart again

I'll drink your poison until the day it tastes good
Nobody lies like you do when you say we're perfect
I act like a bastard, like there's something in the water
Your eyes full of tears, my back full of scratches

Love is a thief
With a gun in her hand, she stole my heart
Like cigarettes and gasoline
Tell me, who's picking up all the pieces behind us?
Love is a thief
She stole my heart with a gun in her hand
Like cigarettes and gasoline
Tell me, who picks up all the pieces behind us?
Love is a thief

It's half past three again
I'm away and not with you
Because somehow you're cooler than the moonlight now
My head is going round like the cops outside our door
You say I don't kiss you like you used to


I write you songs and you never write again
Only when we're both drinking
We can make love like we used to
There are broken pieces on the floor and the pictures of us are burning
Meanwhile, it doesn't matter what your father thinks of me
Pretend outside that I don't recognize your mother
Because the wreckage of my heart lies under your bed

Nobody lies like me when I say: "I don't miss you"
I see a thousand other women, but wish I had you back
I act like a bastard, like there's something in the water
Your eyes full of tears, my back full of scratches

Love is a thief
With a gun in her hand, she stole my heart
Like cigarettes and gasoline
Tell me, who picks up all the pieces behind us?
Love is a thief
She stole my heart with a gun in her hand
Like cigarettes and gasoline
Tell me, who's picking up all the pieces behind us?

I hate this game
Love is a thief
She stole my heart with a gun in her hand
Love is a thief
