Svindler Steffen

[Verse]
In a one-horse town, where troubles never sleep,
Lived a man named Steffen, knee-deep in deceit.
A smile like sunshine, but his heart was cold,
Svindler Steffen, playin' out his stories bold.
[Verse 2]
He'd tip his hat, say, "I'm your friend, indeed,"
But take your trust, and fill it up with greed.
Sold dreams like a peddler sellin' lies,
Left good folks broken with his alibis.
[Chorus]
Oh, Svindler Steffen, where you gonna run,
When the light of truth catches up with what you’ve done?
No place to hide, no excuse left to mend,
Svindler Steffen, you'll face it in the end.
[Verse 3]
He'd charm the ladies with a whiskey grin,
Promise the moon, but take it on a whim.
His word was gold until it turned to dust,
Left hearts achin', filled with broken trust.
[Chorus]
Oh, Svindler Steffen, where you gonna run,
When the light of truth catches up with what you’ve done?
No place to hide, no excuse left to mend,
Svindler Steffen, you'll face it in the end.
[Bridge]
You can only run so far before you hit the wall,
Every lie you told, the phony smiles, they fall.
When the mirror reveals that man you’ve become,
Svindler Steffen, there’s no more room to run.
