The song italicized below is not my own but Vanessa Carlton's "Heros and Thieves"

Well, disaster it strikes on a daily basis
And I'm looking for wisdom in all the wrong places
But still wanna laugh in disappointed faces
And you can't help me
I'm blinded by these

Heroes and Thieves at my door
And I can't seem to tell them apart anymore
Just when I figured it out
Darling it's you I'm without

Well I'm stubborn and wrong,
But at least I know it
I keep movin' along
And hope I can get through this
But maybe this song is the best I can do it
So I'm patiently waiting on these

Heroes and Thieves at my door
And I can't seem to tell them apart anymore
Just when I figure it out
Darling it's you,
Darling it's you oh,
Darling it's you

I'm without your comforting logic like,
These days are the ones I'll miss
And I seek a solitude
That I can't find without you

Seems like I'm getting closer somehow
A flicker of peace that I finally found
Thank you for believing in me now
Cause I do need it

Give me a year or two
And I'll mend my ways
And see these mistakes
When I see the truth,
Darling trust me, when I can see
I'll be coming back
I'll be coming back

Cause there are Heroes and Thieves at my door
And I can't seem to tell them apart anymore
Just when I figured it out
Darling it's you oh,
Darling it's you oh,
Darling it's you I'm without



I can't seem to tell the good from the bad
The wrong from the right
My mistakes from my decisions
One day I'll know-the day that it is too late

But the heros that do come to my door, realize that I never deserved a knight in shining armor, I never did anything worth it

The thieves that come, take what you may, because I am but one of you thieves. I steal hearts and time, and I can never repay the ones I steal from.

Brave hearted, gentle minded heros, go find your real princess, your real prize, because you cannot find it at my door

The ill-intended thieves will stay at my door, using my company, using me, but as a thief I will do the same

Is it my fault I can't tell the difference between hero and thieves anymore?




Could I ever?
