The night of the little lies is over.
I still hear your words:
"We'll see each other again soon."
And then there I am again free for you.
Your car is parked in a side road.
You must now yourself feel
as if fallen between two stools.
I only know it cannot go on like it.
Refrain:
⌈I don't want to be just your secret any longer.
It's cutting too deep into my heart.
Be true to us both – in the end you will have to be.
Don't leave me alone with my desire.
I no longer wish to stand in her shadow,
nor wish to hear, "I must go to her now."
You say you love me. Then don't just tell me.
Be a man and tell her.⌋
The night of the little lies is no more.
You must soon decide
whether you want to go or stay.
It's somehow still something to do with her.
She's been looking at you for a long time with a thousand doubts.
How many more times must she wait?
What might she still ask you?
Don't forget that even sympathy can hurt.
(Refrain)
And perhaps she'll say, "I've known for a long time.
The little lies have hurt a lot more,
because I can only live with the truth."
I don't want to be just your secret any longer.
It's cutting too deep into my heart.
You say you love me. Then don't just tell me.
Be a man and tell her.
Be a man and tell her.
