(Verse 1)
On the corner at night, your engine’s screaming loud
The street becomes your stage, you’re laughing with the crowd
Promises are broken, you play with every heart
Ah, you bastard, slick with your wicked art
(Chorus)
Bastard… you come and then you’re gone
Bastard… sweet words that don’t belong
Bastard… you played my heart in vain
But I’m much stronger, won’t be caught again
(Verse 2)
You talk like a hero, the savior of romance
But deep inside your soul, it’s just a crooked dance
No need for me to cry, I’ll take it as a sign
Once was enough, now your ghost’s left behind
(Chorus)
Bastard… you come and then you’re gone
Bastard… sweet words that don’t belong
Bastard… you played my heart in vain
But I’m much stronger, won’t be caught again
(Bridge)
Now I just laugh, watching you cornered tight
Karma’s at your heels, no way to hide tonight
I ride away free, no chains on my hand
Leaving your shadow in the dark of this land
(Outro)
Bastard… you’re just an old mistake
Bastard… no more tears for you to take
Bastard… I shout it loud and clear
I am free now, no more fear
