Wenn du nur wüsstest [English translation]

When you come home

I'm still awake.

Diagonally opposite,

right under the roof.

When you walk by

then I remain silent

and you don't turn around

When you are afflicted

then I feel bad.

And when you're in love

then that is even more true.

Your new boyfriend

whom I am fed up with

the senior teacher type.

Refrain:

If you only knew,

what you are to me

and how it eats me up

and how it torments me.

If you only knew,

how I miss you,

how much I'd love to kiss you

and how much I miss that.

But big words

I want to avoid

I'm far too humble for that.

All I have left is telepathy

but that never works with you.

Yesterday's love songs

are cold coffee,

Just like the photos from the campsite

at Lake Starnberg.

Even if you assume

it soon would be okay

they still hurt forever.

Refrain:

If you only knew,

what you are to me

and how it eats me up

and how it torments me.

If you only knew,

how I miss you,

how much I'd love to kiss you

and how much I miss that.

But big words

I want to avoid

I'm far too humble for that.

All I have left is telepathy

but that never works with you.

But big words

I want to avoid

I'm far too humble for that.

All I have left is telepathy

but that never works with you.
