Ruthless Streak

It's always the same

Our secrets we keep

Some people you meet, they surprise you

But it's never you

You flatter to deceive

With all your good qualities, you're disappointing

I never dare to turn my back on you

I haven't slept soundly since we met

You use up the things given to you

Till nothing's left

It's your ruthless streak

You don't know how to hide it

You've shown me what you are

Try to deny it

Taking what you need

Hollowing it out

No sympathy

In your ruthless streak

In a shadowland

Where nothing's as it seems

And all you show to me is so thin

I never dare to turn my back on you

I haven't slept soundly since we met

Things I care about mean nothing to you

They're in the way

It's your ruthless streak

You don't know how to hide it

You've shown me what you are

Try to deny it

Taking what you need

Hollowing it out

No sympathy

In your ruthless streak

In your ruthless streak
