I have done it again
I have lingered
There is a limit for almost anything
But for you I have made an exception
I have missed a friend
One who can bear that which I can bear
The only one who understands why
When I walk halfway away from here
I want to escape to some other country
I have been locked up so many years
But you want to feel like you are going somewhere
And not just away from here
This time I am the one who is silent
My voice is not heard anywhere
Because if I can't say it like it is
I say nothing at all
You have been true
I have been someone else
So if it feels like you have lost
Remember that you were the one who won
Am I angrier now?
I used to hold back
Who you don't want to believe I am
That's who I actually am
I want to escape to some other country ...
And when we stand there with a child in each hand
As quarrelling as now
Then we know that we robbed each other
Of everything we could have had
I have missed a friend
One who stands where I stand
The only one who understands why
When I walk halfway away from here
I want to escape to some other country ...
