Lieber so [English translation]

You know we have tried, but probably not enough

Somehow you and I are something like cursed.

Somehow we are not the same, just look at us

You deserve a better woman and I deserve a better man.

How many times did I think about it, never did it.

Somehow never managed to do it before,

Maybe I was lacking the courage, maybe I was lacking the strength

But now I'm lacking myself, more than I ever did you.

Better like this...than too late

Better if you go now

We've been hurting each other for way too long

Better like this...than too late

Because who knows where we're going to end up otherwise, who knows what else is going to happen

We've tried, it can't be arranged anymore

Even if we lose each other, even if you hate me for it.

Sometime you're going to be thanking me for the woman you will have then

Don't view it as an ending, view it as a beginning!

Because what is in store for us would be a thousand times worse.

A thousand times as hard, would hurt a thousand times more,

It is better if you go and better like this than too late.

Better like this...than too late

Better if you go now

We've been hurting each other for way too long

Better like this...than too late
