Lass mich allein [English translation]

[Verse 1:]

Do your thing, whatever you think is right

You’re honest, whenever you pretend.

It happens so fast, sadly, time didn’t stop.

When we stood on the brink, you went too far

It feels like shit

when friends turn their back on you

We see a valley, but we’re not building any more bridges

I turned and left. Where’s your district?

I’m the king, but I never cared about the crown.

yeah

You’ve got your eye on the money even when you’re up here with me; you’ve got to stay grounded. 1

Times are changing you; but there are things, which never change.

Stress – My head is as full as my appointment calendar

I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, my stomach

is empty.

It’s been years since I meant something to you.

I’m not saying anything more; it’s all just show.2

When I’m dead and buried, it’s over.

[Chorus:]

I thought it fit with the two of us

Brother, no one sees me at night when I cry,

please leave me alone

I’ve seen who you are, no matter if I get it or

not

I thought it fit with the two of us

Brother, no one sees me at night when I cry,

please leave me alone

I would have forgiven every mistake

I’m stating no reason even if there are many

[Verse 2:]

And I know how the days aren’t passing by

save yourself some emails, you don’t need

to ask how I’m doing.

My situation is shi…3

My situation is okay

I make the best out of the situation and plan my way

You have other things in mind – no problem.

It’s important that you don’t turn things around

and to be honest with yourself.

You’re successful and you look content,

but how can you even look yourself in the mirror?

Take your valuables – run off and be happy.

I honestly trusted you.

You were ruthless. 4

Do you still know where you’ve slept and ate?

It can’t be that you’ve already forgotten everything.

All the luxuries, where did your car come from?

Because of me, you’re swimming in money, Dagobert!5

I’m not saying anything more, it’s all just show.

When I’m dead and buried, it’s over.

[Chorus:]

I thought it fit with the two of us

Brother, no one sees me at night when I cry,

please leave me alone

I’ve seen who you are, no matter if I get it or

not

I thought it fit with the two of us

Brother, no one sees me at night when I cry,

please leave me alone

I would have forgiven every mistake

I’m stating no reason even if there are many

[Verse 3:]

That’s the way it is, the truth hurts.

I couldn’t once go in to work

while I sat there, the days didn’t pass by.

I would have taked with you – no problem at all.

Yeah, I thought – I could trust you

The bad thing about it is – I really believed in it.

I would have talked, but sadly, you weren’t there.

It feels as if I’d lost a brother.

[Chorus:]

I thought it fit with the two of us

Brother, no one sees me at night when I cry,

please leave me alone

I’ve seen who you are, no matter if I get it or

not

I thought it fit with the two of us

Brother, no one sees me at night when I cry,

please leave me alone

I would have forgiven every mistake

I’m stating no reason even if there are many
