Das Leichteste der Welt [English translation]

I heard the sun is shining for you again.

I heard you seem freed and are wearing a laugh again.

I heard I am over and done for you and that that was the best step of your life.

I have seen you hung your heart onto someone else now, pretty fast considering you said you needed time for now.

On the photos one can find, there you're both beaming with grin, you look so disgustingly happy.

And I, I can't sleep without taking something.

And you have had both feet planted firmly in your new life long since, your look set ahead as if it was the easiest thing in the world.

(The easiest thing in the world.)

According to everything one hears, you're living the storybook now.

Looking for a house by the lake and children, man, but that was our plan!

And I'm barely hanging on1, can't pull my head out of the sand, I'm kilometres away from distance.

And I, I can't sleep without taking something.

And you have had both feet planted firmly in your new life long since, your look set ahead as if it was the easiest thing in the world.

But what's breaking me the most, is to see how happy you are now.

And the bitter realisation that you're at zero that there is nothing.

And every day and every year was for nothing, was pointless, was so pointless.

Maybe one day I can sleep again without taking anything.

Maybe somewhere out there there is a new life for me, but to imagine that is the hardest thing in the world right now.

And I, I can't sleep without taking something.

And you have had both feet planted firmly in your new life long since, your look set ahead as if it was the easiest thing in the world.

(The easiest thing in the world.)

1. literally: "I'm hanging at half-mast here."
