The history of Romanian National Air Transport Company can be traced back from 1920, when CFRNA - (French-Romanian Company for Air Navigation) was founded. The airline used French-built Potez 15 aircraft for its passenger/mail service between Paris and Bucharest via several cities in Central Europe. In 1925, the city of Galați became the first destination in Romania served by regular flights followed, from 24 June 1926, by an extended service to Iași and Chișinău. Ten de Havilland DH.9 and five Ansaldo A.300, in addition to the Potez aircraft, operated the service. In 1928 the airline changed its name to SNNA (Serviciul Național de Navigație Aeriană, The National Air Navigation Service). In 1930, the company adopted the name LARES (Liniile Aeriene Române Exploatate de Stat, Romanian State-Operated Air Lines) while 1937 saw the merger of LARES with its competitor, SARTA (Societatea Anonimă Română de Transporturi Aeriene).
This is me (this is me...) this is me
Ah... yeah... (this is me) c'mon...
She stole your heart
Only did it because she could
Chewed you up and spat you out
That girl never was no good
Baby I will never do that
I'll love you faithfully
But your suspicious mind thinks
I'm gonna repeat her story
She's making you crazy
Making you a wreck
Making you follow me
Making me a suspect
You seem to think I'm playing her game
Don't you know my name
That was her, this is me
We're as different as can be
She and I are nothing alike
You confusing day with night
That was then, this is now
You wanna trust me,
But you don't know how
I'm never gonna mess around,
Set you down, can't you see
That was her (that was her)
And baby this is me (this is me)
(This is me...)
Stop making me feel bad
I'm the best thing you ever had
The only thing I'm guilty of
Is giving you too much love
(She's making you crazy)
She's making you crazy
Making you a wreck
Making you follow me
Making me a suspect
You seem to think I'm playing her game
Don't you know, don't you know my name
That was her, this is me (yeah)
We're as different as can be (you gotta know)
She and I are nothing alike (yeah c'mon)
You confusing day with night (day and night)
That was then, this is now (now)
You wanna trust me,
But you don't know how

Set you down, can't you see (see)
That was her (that was her)
And baby this is me (this is me)
(This is me...)
Don't suffocate me, give me some space
Don't make me pay, for all her mistakes
Believe in the love that's in my kiss
(Don't say things that don't exist)
That was her (yeah) this is me (whoa)
We're as different as can be (yeah c'mon)
She and I are nothing alike (no, no, no, no)
