How many songs do I still have to write
to forget you?
I can't sleep anymore
I can't eat anymore
I've googled a thousand times already
"How do you stop crying?"
But I'm still sitting here
and writing you these lines
I've already tried everything
I've even therapized myself
blocked you ten times already
re-wallpapered the apartment
Whatever I do, it doesn't help
I wonder who you're with tonight and it kills me
Every thought's only about you, I can't stand it
You're gone and I'm sitting here, and I wonder
How many songs do I still have to write
to forget you?
I can't sleep anymore
I can't eat anymore
I've googled a thousand times already
"How do you stop crying?"
But I'm still sitting here
and writing you these lines
Actually I never wanted to write a love song
but I've got no plan
how else should I show you?
Yeah, I want a different ending for the script
Where's this f*cking happy end?
Love can't hurt this bad, can it?
I wonder if you're thinking of me right now too?
I've googled a thousand times already
"How do you forget a person?"
I keep thinking of you, mhm-yeah
How many songs do I still have to write
to forget you?
I can't sleep anymore
I can't eat anymore
I've googled a thousand times already
"How do you stop crying?"
But I'm still sitting here
and writing you these lines
You're everything I need
and now you're giving me up
You stole my heart
Without you I'm done for
And I know there's no second chance
But who knows, might be
maybe you'll hear this song
I've already dated a thousand women
Man, I don't want that anymore
I always picture it was you
How many songs do I still have to write
to forget you?
I can't sleep anymore
I can't eat anymore
I've googled a thousand times already
"How do you stop crying?"
But I'm still sitting here
and writing you these lines

Drehbuch — screenplay

Drehbuch translates to "screenplay" or "script". It's an interesting word because it's not commonly found in everyday song lyrics, making it stand out.

In the context of the song, the singer is heartbroken and wishes for a different outcome to his love story. He sings, "Yeah, ich will ein anderes Ende für's Drehbuch" (Yeah, I want a different ending for the screenplay), using the metaphor of a script to express his desire to rewrite his romantic fate and find a happy ending.

Have you ever been so heartbroken that you just can't stop thinking about someone? That's exactly what SDP is singing about in "Wie Viele Lieder Muss Ich Noch Schreiben?" [How Many Songs Do I Still Have to Write?]. This song is a super relatable look at trying everything to get over an ex, but nothing seems to work.

The singer is really struggling, saying things like "Ich kann nicht mehr schlafen, ich kann nichts mehr essen" [I can't sleep anymore, I can't eat anything anymore]. He's even resorted to Googling "Wie hört man auf zu weinen?" [How do you stop crying?], which, let's be honest, we've probably all done at some point! He's tried blocking his ex, redecorating his apartment, and even dating other people, but he just can't get her out of his head. It's a really honest and a little bit funny take on the messy reality of a breakup.
