Thick As Thieves Songtext / Lyric

Would it kill you to breathe easy?

Only seventeen miles lay

Between you and me

I could make it if I had to



I don't break easily

You've got my counsel, thick as theives

If there's a crime, we'll keep it secret

For there's only trace amounts left in your blood



You may be a sinner, but you may be justified



Just keep your mouth shut

Keep your guard up

I swear I'll make it right



Will it kill me to breathe?

Not as easy as you think it is.

Between you and me

I can fake it if I have to






I don't break easily

I need your counsel, thick as thieves

I have no crime to keep a secret

It was hers, it was not mine



Well I may be a sinner, but it wasn't me this time



Just keep your mouth shut

Keep your guard up

I swear I'll make it right



Well listen to yourself

There is a hemorrhage in your mouth

It won't stop bleeding



Well you may be the trigger

I will hold the smoking gun

You'll get away clean

I'll keep your secrets 'til the grave has swallowed me

And I will never tell a tortured soul they're burning by my side

That I am a sinner

I am a savior

I am a lie.



So keep your mouth shut

Keep your guard up

I swear I'll make it right
