FRIENDSHIP BETRAYED.
(Starsky to Hutch post Kira.)
I thought you were my friend Hutch
I thought you'd always care
I thought I'd always look around
And know that you were there.
I thought that I could trust you
With all that I hold dear
Thought I could tell you anything
And never have to fear.
You meant the whole wide world to me
I loved you like a brother
I never thought you'd turn on me
And hurt me like no other.
I never thought you'd be the one
To break my heart in two
To take the trust I held so dear
And shatter it clean through.
I've tried to get my head around
The way that you behaved
But all that I can see right now
Is how I've been betrayed.
I've tried to understand the way
You stole my love from me
Despite the friendship we both shared
How could you let this be?
Has our friendship been in vain?
Did I get it all so wrong?
Did you really mean to cause such pain?
Did you hate me all along?
(Hutch to Starsky)
I never meant to hurt you Starsk
Never meant it to be so
Never meant to let it get this far
Never meant to hit so low.
Your friendship means much more to me
Than you will ever know
It's kept me sane in this mad world
Though I've never told you so.
I'd never trust another one
To watch my back out there
To stand against the angry mob
To climb the darkened stair.
You told me what she meant to you
And in a moment of pure lust
I betrayed the friend that I hold dear
And threw away his trust.
I know now that she used us
She played us both like fish
Now all that I can do is pray
You'll grant for me one wish
I wish for your forgiveness Starsk
Do you have it in your heart
To hear the words I say to you,
To make another start?
Without your friendship Starsky
The worlds a lonely place
Full of hate and anger
And its somewhere I can't face
Without you standing by my side
All I can feel is pain
Can you ever forgive me Starsk
So we can start again?
(Starskys reply)
It's a long and lonely world out there
With no-one at your side
Itd full of danger, hate and fear
And jealousy and pride.
Jealousy's an evil thing
That splits good friends in two
Despite the strength of binds that tie
A heart is split clean through.
But a heart it can be mended Hutch
If our heads would let it be
Let's face the danger side by side
Together Me and Thee.
Pride is such a lonely thing
To wear upon your face
I've found that if I swallow hard
It leaves without a trace.
And all that's left is loneliness
To pass a lifetime by
With thoughts of ifs and maybes
And bitter tears to cry.
There are lots of things in this mad world
For which I have no need
Likewise a lot of people
To who I pay no heed.
But there is one in this mad world
Whose friendship means so much
That I'd forgive him anything
And that is my friend Hutch.
So though our friendship took a knock
That sent it reeling back
The things you mean to me my friend
Will help it back on track.
Take my hand of friendship Hutch
Look deep into my face
And you will see that jealousy
Has vanished without trace.
There's no need for forgiveness
There's nothing to forgive
Let's put the past behind us both
And carry on Lets-Live!
