Vorbei (English)

Vorbei (English) Lyrics

Until you forget about me
Until you forget about me

There are days when I'm scared
To forget about all the colours that you gave to me
There are nights when I lie awake
I think about the promise that slowly broke
The painting on the wall, nearly white and empty
The story we were painting, slowly fades
It should've stayed as it was, but time is changing the colours too much

Over, over is the last question
And I know, the days are lost
It's over, I find new goals
I'm free again - I know there are so many
The past is quiet!
The last summerday was near
Our shadows reflect on rails wet from rain
The way home was tough
A whole summer we succeeded
(And now?)
The picture in the hand has just been painted
The weeks made us grow, but ( but! )
There was nothing more important
Than our last day

Over, over is the last question
And I know, the days are lost
It's over, I find new goals
I'm free again - I know there are so many
The past is quiet!

And now I think back, and I think of you
Think about our summer, and ask myself, where are you now
How are you now, and how you laugh, how you cry
How you sleep, how you scream, do you think from time to time
Of our time together?

But
Then I emerge, breathe the air, and I realize
Our time has gone, even if it was our best
And that the wind the next winter brings
I store the thought of you, just like you were - as the most beautiful summer day

Over, over is the last question
And I know, the days are lost
It's over, I find new goals
I'm free again - I know there are so many
The past is quiet!
