Been trying hard to think of something nice About you just to paint you in a better light Only time we talk is when we fight You told me that I stole your best years That's not something i'm supposed to hear Like father, all your children turn to beer I'm a thief If I leave and that hit the reset And the years that I stole That could have been your best Got returned to the time That you first heard my scream In my last heartbeat I would give them to you Would that make it alright I don't have much to lose You're a thief of all my best years Wish I could've had less years I would give back my life You're a thief of all my best years You're a thief of all my best years Keeping men around wouldn't be so hard Could've had the money Could've made your mark You never even told me what your real dreams are You wouldn't have a kid stuck in rehab My downward spiral, going mad We've both dreamed about the life you could've had And I don't wanna waste All your weeks and your days On the same shit that got you Stuck here in this place So if you want them back God, I wish you'd just take em Cause i'm wasting them anyways I would give them to you Would that make it alright I don't have much to lose You're a thief of all my best years Wish I could've had less years I would give back my life You're a thief of all my best years, best years You're a thief of all my best years Wish I could've had less years You're a thief of all my best years, best years You're a thief of all my best years Wish I could've had less years
