Tanstaafl Songtext
von Avea

I met you in school
Back when I was a fool
We went for it fast
Thinking it would last
But days turned to years
And through all my fears
I always had you by my side

All the nights
When I couldn′t rest
You put your head on my chest
You gave me your best
And I must confess
I fell for you fast
I wanted it to last forever


But when my friend died
I thought I had you by my side
He passed on the floor
Behind the bathroom door
He finally got the dose
He was searching for
And it left me sore
To see this ignored
By you

It was such a treacherous thing
When you stole my ma's ring
Just to make a quick dollar
We shouted and hollered
You stood there and lied
I saw the fear in your eyes
But I knew somewhere inside
The woman I loved resided


But I still remember the call
When I had lost it all
He had you in his car
I followed you both to the bar
You met me outside
And you screamed and you cried
But I had made up my mind
I began to unwind
He was frozen in fear
He knew his end was near
I had to face all the facts
With him dead in my tracks

Hate is all I knew
Selfish and so cruel
And I′ll never be the same
I thought I had only you to blame
I've never been so wrong
And I can't say that I don′t miss you
Lost in your eyes so blue
But the memories stay the same
Once I loved you
And I′ve finally found my strength
And now
I forgive you
