Verleden tijd [English translation]

I see a girl, her face tear-streaked

I see her crying, her eyes closed

I want to comfort her, but I can't

Who are you?

I feel pain and I feel longing

I feel that it's all over now

I want to help you, but I'm not able to

Who are you?

You let them play with you under the snow,

You can't be yourself

You're history,

I'd rather lose you,

I've already waited for too long

I don't want to be yours anymore

You're history,

I'd rather lose you,

I've already waited for too long

I don't want to be yours anymore

I see you fighting for your own voice,

You dare say what you actually are

You're no longer embarassed about a crazy moment,

That's you!

Now you're stronger than the whole world,

Everyone else can notice you now

Now you're finally who you really are

That's you!

You can fix everything by yourself,

I see you shining,

Now you are who you are.

You're history,

I'd rather lose you,

I've already waited for too long

I don't want to be yours anymore

You're history,

I'd rather lose you,

I've already waited for too long

I don't want to be yours anymore

Don't destroy me anymore,

Now I walk my way all alone,

This is where our ways part completely

My past has run out,

I might as well go now.

You're history,

I'd rather lose you,

I've already waited for too long

I don't want to be yours anymore

You're history,

I'd rather lose you,

I've already waited for too long

I don't want to be yours anymore
