You said I want more
I said excuse me
We were very excited
Hung up quickly
What does that mean
(When) you say ....it's impossible on the telephone
And now you simply sit around and ask yourself why
I of all people didn't mean it like that, I'm so sorry you cried
And when you cry then I am lost
Then everything is much too late
Because you cry, because you feel that it's breaking up
when you cry then I feel so helpless
Because I can't comfort you
Because when you cry it's already hurt for much too long
There's no going back, you won't find your happiness with me
I'm not staying with you anymore
Because I'm cracking up, because I no longer can stand it
I must go away, everything else is pointless
Be happy that things are often not as they appear
But please stop crying now
We're going to say goodbye to each other
That you absolutley know
We're going to face each other
And look into each others' eyes
(Then) with trembling hands, the tears will stop
when we cry then we are lost
when we cry then that hurts so much
when we cry then we're so helpless
