How often did you spend the night with a hero
Only to wake up next to the devil the next morning?
I stood by your bedside, quite disheveled
But I had already planted my seeds in your brain
My mind kept hovering and with every breath I take
I can't get enough of this life
Controlling my flight
I stopped for a moment
A blissful moment
That's sending the beauty of your world through my eyes
Yet my goal is beckoning me
Pulling you away from me
You bury what we had
Beneath your dead hair
Every day I wonder if you're ever gonna forgive me
You are with me - it's life that separates us
This goes out to all those who gave me their love
It was nice to have shared it
This goes out to all the people I loved
It's nice to have you around... yes, it is
This goes out to everyone who was too close to me
And was hurt by that which connected us
Now it's life that separates us, and yet
I still love you
I was your future, but this is all in the past now
And I guess an "I'm sorry" won't cut it anymore
You were so full of expectations
I was so empty
You were too attached to me, we became too heavy
I had my share of sacrifices1, that didn't help either
I yelled "Love you!"
And I do love you
I will follow my destiny, I can see the future
Don't let it destroy you, let us swear upon love
Send those demons back to hell where they belong
Guided by the belief that nothing would remain - without love
This goes out to all those who gave me their love
It was nice to have shared it
This goes out to all the people I loved
It's nice to have you around... yes
This goes out to everyone who was too close to me
And was hurt by that which connected us
Now it's life that separates us, and yet
I still love you
This goes out to all those who gave me their love
It was nice to have shared it
This goes out to all the people I loved
It's nice to have you around... yes
This goes out to everyone who was too close to me
And was hurt by that which connected us
Now it's life that separates us, and yet
I still love you
I still love you
I still love you
I still love you
What would our experience be like if we knew everything in advance?
Maybe I broke your heart when we kissed
But maybe it's you who's stomping on our love
When you regret you ever met me
And maybe it's an inevitable consequence in your life
That for every day spent in heaven there will be one spent in hell
But everything happens only once
And if that weren't the case, I'd love you again - twice as much
This goes out to all those who gave me their love
It was nice to have shared it
This goes out to all the people I loved
It's nice to have you around... yes
This goes out to everyone who was too close to me
And was hurt by that which connected us
Now it's life that separates us, and yet
I still love you
This goes out to all those who gave me their love
It was nice to have shared it
This goes out to all the people I loved
It's nice to have you around... yes
This goes out to everyone who was too close to me
And was hurt by that which connected us
Now it's life that separates us, and yet
I still love you
This goes out to all those who gave me their love
It was nice to have shared it
This goes out to all the people I loved
It's nice to have you around... yes
This goes out to everyone who was too close to me
And was hurt by that which connected us
Now it's life that separates us, and yet
I still love you
