I never want to go back, never want to go back to Neukölln1
Never want to feel what I want to forget
I'd rather let my heart fill with tar
Because when it gets cold, it's finally still
I feel empty because I'm
No longer sad, I'm
No longer angry
I'm everything I can't find words for
First days, then weeks, now
Months have gone by, but
What to do with all my questions?
I'll certainly take them to my grave
Oh well, then
Maybe it was never good enough
Was I too much for you?
Tell me why
All the years
Forever me and you
Tell me why, oh
I never want to go back, never want to go back to Neukölln
Never want to feel what I want to forget
I'd rather let my heart fill with tar
Because when it gets cold, it's finally still
When I spoke of love
I always meant you
When I thought about trust
Only us two came to mind
I never want to back, never want to go back to Neukölln
Never want to go back to Neukölln
Why on the phone?
Why right at three in the morning, huh?
You knew I was alone
You flew away just for a bit
Then you never came home again because
Such face-to-face was supposed to be painful
And I begged you
Come back, please, just one conversation
So I can understand why you're going
Why can't we just talk?
Maybe I was never worth more than nothing
For you, oh
I never want to go back, never want to go back to Neukölln
Never want to feel what I want to forget
I'd rather let my heart fill with tar
Because when it gets cold, it's finally still
When I spoke of love
I always meant you
When I thought about trust
Only us two came to mind
I never want to back, never want to go back to Neukölln
Never want to go back to Neukölln
Oh, oh-oh, oh oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh oh-oh, oh
Never want to go back to Neukölln
Oh, oh-oh, oh oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh oh-oh, oh
Never want to go back to Neukölln
Oh, oh-oh, oh oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh oh-oh, oh
Never want to go back to Neukölln
Oh, oh-oh, oh oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh oh-oh, oh
Never want to go back to Neukölln
