about

Original recording 2005 (previously released in USA only on Kufala Records)
Performed by Black

lyrics

The unforgiven they sleep alone at a night
The young unsung busting to come
I was the one who thought to have you
would be like living from my dreams

You use your words like you had stolen them
So care free, could not care less
You are the one you said you want
then you can have in your dreams

I know that you that you know, what's it like to be wrong
For so long, for so long
I've been down there too
And there's no excuse

I came the one to keep you warm at night
You gave me belly, you gave me lip
I came the one who knew to have you was not all it seems

I know that you that you know, what's it like to be wrong
For so long, for so long
I've been down there too
And it's no excuse

Been down there too

I've been a fool, I've been a pierrot
I've had no money, place of my own
Am I the one to pay the price to have you twice
In your dreams

I know that you that you know, how it feels
To steal from yourself
To lose more than it seems you've ever had
There's no going back
You lose more than you ever had
You leave a piece behind
