Uns trennt das Leben [English translation]

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
