For whom am I playing until my fingers bleed - only for you

For whom am I risking everything - only for you

For whom am I playing without any fee - only for you

For whom am I even paying for the gig - only for you

For whom am I painting my face, for whom am I standing in the limelight,

For whom am I running on full speed, for whom will I kick the bucket in the end

Only for you.

Sometimes I love you and sometimes it's hate

You unleash the monster inside me and sometimes it's fun.

You are the reason for my pain and also for my desire

And if you don't applaud, I'll see you after the show.

For whom am I singing about pretty women - only for you

For whom am I playing the party-clown - only for you

For whom am I telling bad jokes - only for you

For whom am I pushing it to the limit - only for you

For whom would I give everything, for whom will I become President sometime,

For whom will I become Pope in Rome, for whom am I not using a condom

Only for you

Sometimes...

You destroyed my innocence and left me standing on my own.

You made me what I am, and I thank you for that.

For whom am I going on beyond exhaustion - only for you

For whom am I still playing old and bearded - only for you

For whom am I always doing right - only for you

For whom am I going to hell one day - only for you

For whom Am I getting scarred, for whom am I destroying myself,

For whom am I playing the guitar so softly before finally shooting myself.

Only for you

Sometimes...
