Herzschmerz [explizit] [English translation]

I didn’t deserve you my darling,

I gave you a thousand reasons to hate me

I’ve failed you and I’ve let you down ¹

Now you’ve up and left me ²

All the other women don’t mean anything to me,

you’re my number one

From day one, I wanted only you,

and when the rain is pattering on the windshield

I have to think of you

I go to the studio, do my thing, and try to distract myself

I try to snap out of it, go party with the boys,³

but it still hurts to wake up every morning without you

It fucks with my head

and the thought of it - makes me sick –

- you and the other guy

I want to feel your breath on the back of my neck

I want to hold you in my arms

Now it’s too late

The wounds are healing,

but the scars remain

Now I sit here alone

and look at our old pictures

I’m always looking at my cell phone,

but you don’t call me anyway

What became of our dreams that we had just

yesterday?

If I’d had a second chance, I’d do everything better

Refrain:

Heartache, heartache, heartache, heartache

heartache, heartache, heartache, heartache

I wake up and every day I tell myself

I won’t drink anymore,

but in the evening, I’ll hit the Jaegermeister Ginger Ale again; it’s hard to let go ⁴

I’ve needed my angel so much since you’ve been gone,

I sit here in this narrow empty room

and don’t know where to go anymore

and I don’t even know why you’re gone

Perhaps we were both still too young

We didn’t have a lick of sense, ⁵

but believe me, with the time and the years,

all the last doubts will then stop

I stand up and then it blows me away

The pictures I see of the two of you

drag me down into the mud

Give me just a second, and I’ll show you

It’ll never again be any colder than it is down here and

I’ll stay here, even if everything freezes;

my heart, it beats thanks to the fire from withín ⁶

- until the pain sets in

Maybe someday I’ll understand it

I’m still awake and I can’t fall asleep -

‘ can feel my

Refrain:

Heart ache, heartache, heartache, heartache,

heartache, heartache, heartache, heartache
