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
_____
And we walk, we walk
_____
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 arrow in the heart
_____
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
