Halb So Viel Lyrics in English LEA

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Halb So Viel by LEA from German to English.
I've had your spare key since March
And now it's slowly turning to autumn
And you still have to ring my bell
I've met your parents
And I really like them
Mine just live so far away from here
I know all your friends
You only know my friends' names
You're booking flights for the winter
But I can't plan that far ahead yet
It'd be so nice if I felt the same
And not just half as much
Not just half as much as you
It'd be so nice if I wanted the same
And not just half as much
Not just half as much
Half as much as you
Like you
Like you
Not just half as much
Half as much as you
Like you
Like you
Not just half as much as you
You want an evening on the couch
But I drag you back out again
Let's just go out among people
You need more one-on-one time with me
I see that's not enough for me right now
But let's not talk about it today
You lay the world at my feet
I still won't commit
It'd be so nice if I felt the same
And not just half as much
Not just half as much as you
It'd be so nice if I wanted the same
And not just half as much
Not just half as much
Half as much as you
Like you
Like you
Not just half as much
Half as much as you
Like you
Like you
Not just half as much as you
I know all your friends
You only know my friends' names
You keep me in your heart
I only hold you in my arms
It'd be so nice if I felt the same
And not just half as much
Not just half as much as you
It'd be so nice if I wanted the same
And not just half as much
Not just half as much
Half as much as you
Like you
Like you
Not just half as much
Half as much as you
Like you
Like you
Not just half as much
Half as much as you

SONG MEANING

Halb So Viel paints a bittersweet picture of a couple whose love scales are tipped. LEA, the Australian singer–songwriter, lists all the caring gestures her partner makes: giving her a spare key in March, ringing her doorbell out of politeness, introducing her to his parents, even planning their winter trips. Meanwhile, she can only match that devotion halfway. She knows his friends by heart, but he barely knows the names of hers; he keeps her in his heart while she only holds him in her arms. The chorus repeats her secret wish: “Es wär so schön, wenn ich das Gleiche fühle”“It would be so nice if I felt the same.” Ultimately, the song explores the quiet guilt of loving someone just half as much as they love you.

Instead of pointing fingers, LEA invites listeners to step inside the gentle tension between affection and honesty. The upbeat pop sound masks a vulnerable confession: sometimes our hearts refuse to sync, no matter how hard we try. By the final refrain, the message rings clear: acknowledging mismatched feelings is painful, yet pretending would hurt even more. This track is a melodic reminder that real love also means admitting when you do not feel the same intensity.
