Nur kurz glücklich [English translation]

I don't know where I got this from

I don't think that my mum does that

Every time I feel good

I think, that I did overlook something

I ask myself if it has always been that way

That I worry so much?

The whole city has already been asleep for a long time

While I'm here with my fears that are running in circles and I think that

You prepare yourself for the disaster

Look for the downside of things and for the false bottom

But what if it does not exist?

And that you're simply happy for a moment

And you're trying to find the ifs and buts

So you can tell everyone that it was clear

But what if the truth is

That you're simply happy for a moment?

You're happy, that you're simply happy for a moment

Can I still fix this?

Just erase the panic?

Be happy when something starts again?

And don't just see the things which have an end?

Can somebody tell me whether I was born this way

Or just became like this over the years?

That I expect, every time I calm down

It's just the calm before the storm

And you prepare yourself for the disaster

Look for the downside of things and for the false bottom

But what if it does not exist?

And that you're simply happy for a moment?

And you're trying to find the ifs and buts

So you can tell everyone that it was clear

But what if the truth is

That you're simply happy for a moment?

You're happy, that you're simply happy for a moment

You're happy, that you're simply happy for a moment
