Heartless Bastard

“Heartless!”
I just don't believe
I don’t believe it though is happening
How could I describe such pain inside?
When you spoke at first I even laughed
I thought it was a joke...
Will I ever learn that what is beautiful must always hurt?
but I chose getting blinded with desire
Now I feel embarrassed of my love
I thought I was in heaven
Well, how could I be that wrong?
Then I said:
Girl, I know I gave you my word
To always leave my door open,
always leave my door open
But now I have understood
(And I'm so sorry, oh girl)
I won't keep my door open
'Cause don't wanna give you my love...
Oh, no!
(she said) Heartless Bastard!
You deserve the worst
And your apologies don't really work
Never will replace this tears of mine
I am guilty too 'cause I relied on
your twisted pretty words
It's absurd, so absurd...
I know what you're thinking right now
that I should calm myself down
Well, let me tell you darling
that this time, no
You're not gonna get away that fast
And you'll regret forever the times you treated me bad
Then I said:
Girl, I know I gave you my word
To always leave my door open,
always leave my door open
But now I have understood
(And I'm so sorry, oh girl)
I won't keep my door open
'Cause don't want to give you my love...
Oh, no!
(she said) Heartless Bastard!
Girl, I know I gave you my word
To always leave my door open,
But now I’m ready to close it
Yeah!
Oh oh oh oh oh
Girl, I know I promised the world
‘cause I thought the fire was still burning
I thought the fire was still burning
But now I have woken up
And I'm so sorry for all!
I don't feel the fire burning
Burning down anymore
No, no, no!

Trust Issues
03:50
|

You don’t remember why you started to run
where you were heading or where you came from
you played with fire and of course you got burned
really burned
Your own ambition is dragging you down
and now you wish you could get outta this town
Why do you need to wear your pride like a crown?
take it off
(cause)
You don’t wanna give it a try
because you’re fed up with this world
I see it so clear in your eyes
disappointment in your look
and now I’m refusing to talk
Cause don’t wanna make it worse
So, What can I do to earn your trust?
Nobody wants to see their dreams in the mud
I got the message; it’s understood
it’s raining tears and in your heart there’s a flood
cover up
Don’t get discouraged, don’t lose your nerve
if you let me I can make this work
I hate to see that you are carrying this load
on your own
breaks my soul
(but)
You don’t wanna give it a try
because you’re fed up with this world
I see it so clear in your eyes
disappointment in your look
And now I’m refusing to talk
Cause don’t wanna make it worse
So,
What can I do to earn your trust?
What can I do to earn your trust? X3
Cause in the end like everyone…
You need some trust.

The Mark
02:55

Love leaves a mark in the heart
There’s a mark in my heart
for each and every one
that I have ever loved
and that I’ve hurt
if you look from above
you will see a path
It’s been written in blood
through tough times
Love leaves a mark in the heart
There is something I’ve learned
from all of my scars:
I should cherish this love
like it’s the last
So when I am in doubt
or when I’ve lost all hope
Then I will close my eyes
and I’ll know
(I will know that)
Love leaves a mark in the heart
There’s a mark…
In the heart...

The next time I fall in love
I will need to be certain
and If she’s not the one
then I won’t stay another second
The next time I fall in love
I better be extra cautious
‘cause I got hurt before
I know too much about being broken
and I don’t want to sing again that song
but that won’t happen, no
not again just won’t
oh no
The next time I fall in love
first I’ll look for the fire
yet that won’t be enough
my aspirations are much higher
So next time I fall in love
I will pay more attention
and if she says those words
then I will have made my decision
It will be sad but I’ll have to let her go
I’ll have to let her go
yeah I will let her go
I will let her go
for sure
The next time I fall in love
I will show my true colors
honest right from the start
and if she likes what I got to offer
then I’ll jump directly into her arms
My home will be her heart

Bad Memory

Yes I admit that I was so upset
this very morning I couldn’t even leave the bed
now you can see me, I’m fresh as a rose
Where is the trick? that’s what you’d like to know
but there’s no magic that’s for sure
I’ve got my miseries, just like the rest
sometimes I’m troubled and I feel in a cage
but look at me now I grin like before
if you can close your eyes then problem solved
just let the time do the hard work
So you don’t need to worry for me
'cause my brain keeps forgetting this things
yes I know that today was a dark rainy day
but tomorrow I won’t remember it
No, I don’t think that I will
All of my worries they go with the wind
just like the flowers and just like the sand
I get depressed for a minute or so
but after that I let my feelings go
and by the morning it’s all gone
So you don’t need to worry for me
'cause my brain keeps forgetting this things
yes I know that today was a dark rainy day
but tomorrow I won’t remember it
No, I don’t think that I will
So you don’t need to worry...
‘cause my brain keeps forgetting...
yes I know that today….
but tomorrow I won’t remember it
No, I don’t think I ever will

I don’t know what it is to be drunk
yet I know what it is to be in love
and lose it all
Oh, that I know
I don’t know what it is to be stoned
yet I know what it is to screw things up
more than once
Oh, that I know
And I don’t know what it is to be drugged
but sure I know how it feels to be lost
be wandering like a ghost
through shadows and through fog
I don’t know what it is to be drunk
yet I know what it is to run out of luck

Loved For The Last Time
03:22
|
|||
I want to be loved for one last time
because I know this time’s the one
So when we split up that was hard
There was nobody I could trust
I was stuck in a bad spot
My own storm
But as the wound is closing up
and some part of the pain is gone
Something’s growing in my heart
I feel it warm
Like a sun
I want to be loved for one last time
Because I know this time’s the one
I thought I should be left alone
but I have only made it worse
It’s far too quiet in this hole
dark and cold...
I have played this game before
and everytime I did I lost
Although the odds are pretty low
I won’t give up, there’s still hope
I want to be loved for one last time
because I know this time’s the one
I want to be loved for what I am
I want to be loved and in return
I’ll give her everything I own:
My heart and my soul

Basement Song
03:30

At a moment of despair
I didn’t have any other way left
So I got mentally prepared
This was it
I packed my things for the ride
Then I kissed her lips goodbye
As I entered the car
I started to cry
I could only cry
Mom, I am home
I’m sorry for the trouble I may cause
Father, hold the door
I promise I won’t stay for long
I’ll be gone
soon enough
I’ve been here for several months
new doors have opened up
It’s not as bad as I first thought
still I’ve got to move on
I shouldn’t get used too much
no
Mom, I am home
I’m sorry for the trouble I may cause
Father, hold the door
I promise I won’t stay for long
I’ll be gone
soon enough
Ma, don’t be mad
I’ll stay a little more than I
had planned
Father, please have trust
I’m trying hard to mend this but
it takes time
it takes time

In Plain Words
03:34
|
|||
I should have called you first
I know
but then it wouldn't be such a surprise
hope I don’t interrupt
too much
I guarantee you it will be worthwhile
I want to make amends
come clean
It’s time for me to learn from my mistakes
I need to start again
all fresh
but this is what is getting in the way
To put it in plain words:
I really was afraid to love
so arrogant and vain
That when I tried to make things work
oh no
I banged my head against a wall
Can we leave all behind?
make peace
cause maybe I am not the man you knew
The one that broke your heart
twice
though I admit I have no other proof
To put it in plain words:
I really was afraid to love
so arrogant and vain
That when I tried to make things work
oh no
I banged my head against a wall
you said it was too late
So when I tried to make things work
Oh no
I banged my head against a wall

Friend, How’ve you been? I have missed our talks so much
Now I hear something weird in your voice, seems broken
Tell me please ‘cause I’m intrigued: should I be worried?
Have you quit music? Are you sick? What’s happening?
“When you see me, you'll understand”
That's what you said
“When you see me, you'll understand everything”
Friend, I know you well, enough to tell that you won’t ask for help
you’ve got your pride, and that is fine, but you should try to be open
In this world you’re not alone, you gotta trust someone
I'm on my way to your place ‘cause this wait is killing me
“When you see me, you'll understand”
That's what you said
“When you see me, you'll understand everything,
yes, you will”
When you see me you’ll understand,
When you see me you’ll understand and it all will be said
“When you see me you'll understand everything
When you see me you'll understand
Then you'll know why it is that I'm hurt
You'll only need my face
just my face”
