Sicherer Hafen [English translation]

I have to confess your new guy

is quite okay

Still it's strange for me

To see you with him

Going for a drink

with (the two of) you at a party

hurts so much, so much

Or seing you and him together

there at the lake in the evening

For you it's no problem

But I can see our reflection

in the water

And it hurts so much

And often I also imagine

how you read what I'm writing

Whether you know what I mean

and understand the depth

When I write letters

that you will never get again

Not - because you don't read

but because I don't send them

and I don't say a word

because I'm not good at talking about love

And I don't have the right to say

if it's really right

And I can only tell you

that you are important to me

And I just want

you to be happy

And even though the years pass by

the feelings stay

And the anchor of my life is with you

And even though the years pass by

and the days are numbered

Still we look at each other like before

you were my safe haven

My lighthouse, my haven

You were my safe haven

My lighthouse, my haven

You were my safe haven

I have to confess I can understand

it's okay for you

I'd have to lie if I said

that you are not missed

Because every time when I

am almost dialing your number again

It hurts so much - so much

Or the moment when

the evening sun sets today

Will be crappy again

because I'll stand underneath it without you

And it hurts like salt

rubbed into open wounds

Yes it hurts so much

And often I also imagine

how you hear what I'm writing

You realise what I mean

and understand the main focus

When I'm writing songs

that you do not hear again

Because nobody hears them

And I have to say

this cage of memory fragments

Brings the soul to its limits

- what a bittersweet end

And it's hard to change our move

Because navigating on rails

is like braking without a parachute

And even though the years

pass by, the feelings stay

And my life's anchor is with you

Even though the years pass by

and the days are numbered

We still look at each other like before,

you were my safe haven

My lighthouse, my haven

You were my safe haven

My lighthouse, my haven

You were my safe haven
