You looked in the mirror with others' eyes
To forget how beautiful you were
While you skimmed over life, over problems
You were so beautiful to my eyes of yesterday
So now sixteen years feel like nothing
While I stay down here defeated
I look up at the sky and they show the best images
Of the times when lately I've rarely won
With darkness inside and heart on our face
That if they stare into our eyes
There's nobody, there's no trace
And I haven't counted the days for a month
Because forever my job
How long since we saw each other?
From which side do you see
That shard in the soul
That I try to rip out every day
While I distract the world with a smile, but
I've always asked myself, my love
And I still ask you but I hide
It was 1980, for what f*cking reason, God
Why did you put me in the world?
Gravel then concrete, the path
I dreamed another whole day
That life was something else, we laughed, we desired
With the sun off and fire in my face
That if I answered you now
With my love as a threat
Nothing of you would remain
Maybe two tears, then dust
And then the most ruthless void
That until now I've endured
How long since we saw each other?
From which side do you see
That shard in the soul
That I try to rip out every day
While I distract the world with a smile, but
You were born from pain that time will stop
And fears are born but we'll survive
And love, love, love that's waiting for you
Because the eternal isn't in a hurry
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
How long since we saw each other?
From which side do you see
That shard in the soul
That I try to rip out every day
While I distract the world with a smile, but
