Die Wahrheit ist man hat uns nichts getan [English translation]

We knew what was coming, and we wouldn't miss it.

We took the liberty of leaving the room.

There are others that came and took our places.

We had the feeling they were better looking.

We can choose and have possibilities:

Between pizza toppings and TV channels

The good news, the small victory:

Our parents get to keep the apartment

Three experiences later

Five broken dreams

and all well and good

A lost belief

It didn't matter what everyone said

It didn't matter whether we realized it

The whole truth is

They've done nothing to us

The good and the bad and too much of both

The door that opens now and shuts behind us

The absent hand that you're not holding in yours

The truth is, they've done nothing to us

We had the time and we could've thought about it

and decided in favor or against it

Hours have passed with our eyes on the wall

Then, the decision was out of our hands

We can choose between was and is

If we go, there's the hope of being missed by someone

The whole truth, if I depart:

Does the sun miss the moon and the stars?

Three disappointments later

Five destroyed hopes

and all well and good

A lost belief

It didn't matter what everyone said

It didn't matter whether we realized it

The whole truth is

They've done nothing to us

The good and the bad and too much of both

The door that opens now and shuts behind us

The absent hand that you're not holding in yours

The truth is, they've done nothing to us

The righteousness of the good and the sins of the others

The absent power to change the direction

Not what one lacks, but what one has

The truth is, they've done nothing to us
