Let Me Tell You a Story

Her name is Elizabeth, she learned early and the hard way
That love doesn't exist, much less fairy tales
She fell in love with a braggart, he promised eternal love
He got her pregnant and left, paradise turned into hell
Her father disagrees with that bastard baby
Abort or leave, then he was heard saying 'I'm leaving'
Seven years have passed since that last night
Since a girl was born in the back seat of a car
Some time later, Elizabeth meets Carlos
She thought an angel came down to save them
What a perception, an angel? I really don't know
She wasn't so wrong because Lucifer was one too
Where does he get money from? She wondered
Doubts flooded her mind but she always kept quiet
Until one day Carlos arrives drunk and starts hitting her
He subdues and rapes her, and the devil starts to dance
'Do whatever you want to me but don't touch my daughter'
The girl says, 'leave mommy alone', crying and pleading
While blinded by lust, he lunges at her
But Elizabeth, without thinking, smashes a bottle on him
Again and again, she cuts his throat
Leaves the lifeless body and covers it with a blanket
She gets in the car and speeds off, can't handle all that pressure
Escapes the place while the sirens sing
Oh, let me tell you a story
Those without a happy ending
Those that leave a mark in time
That leave a scar
Oh, let me tell you a story
Those without a happy ending
Those that leave a mark in time
That leave a scar
His name is Octavio and he's dedicated to stealing
He started as a child and didn't know where it would lead
It was easy to steal from schoolmates
Then he moved on to stealing his grandfather's money
There were consequences, sometimes he got caught
But the juvenile detention center was a school of tricks he learned
Houdini would appreciate his ability to escape
They say they saw him, I don't know where, but he was heading somewhere else
The tiger has 25 marks, he's dedicated to stealing, his life is at risk
He plans a big heist, it's him and his skinny friend
Easy to kill two guards and done, money in the bag
The day and hour come, it's time to act
His skinny friend doesn't answer and he starts to panic
Sweating and thinking, the tic-tac in his head
'What the hell, I'll do it alone', and the gun goes click clack
He enters the bank, shoots the first guard in the ribs
While another one shoots him in the knee from behind
He manages to leave bleeding, gets in the car and can't take it anymore
Escapes the place while the sirens sing
Oh, let me tell you a story
Those without a happy ending
Those that leave a mark in time
That leave a scar
The third story is starred by Vladimir
He lost the will to live a long time ago
In an accident, he lost his wife and daughter
He didn't find the culprit, they fled like a lizard
And he's been thinking about it for a long time, he has no desire left
If they're not here anymore, what's the point of tomorrow?
He takes a gun and places it on his throat
Finger on the trigger, can't handle all that pressure
Right behind, he sees an accident
There's smoke and glass, sees a crowd of people
From one of the cars, Elizabeth gets out bleeding
Carrying a girl, asking for help, she's crying
Desperate to act to help
But it's too late, the girl stops breathing
From the other car, Octavio gets out bleeding
With a gun, everyone is aiming
Vladimir remembers that son of a bitch
He takes out his gun and with hatred and rage aims at him
He also aims and the story is about to end
But this time, the sirens won't be the ones singing
Let me tell you a story
Let me tell you a story
Let me tell you a story
Let me tell you a story
Let me tell you a story
Let me tell you a story
Let me tell you a story
You give it a happy ending
A happy ending
A happy ending
(A happy ending)
