Every night, I don't sleep,
You haunt my dreams,
And my nightmares too.
Sometimes I wonder if I should say thank you.
I think about everything that displeased me,
Before I was full of carelessness,
Now I'm dying from the inside.
Did I do the right thing by trusting you?

If only I could start all over again,
I will make sure we never separate again.
This feeling comes back,
This floating where I think.
I think of you, of me, of us,
And to our future that could have existed,
But that stopped before it even started.

I have so many questions,
But you never came back.
Even though I know you can't,
Just tell me why.
You didn't warn me,
I thought you would come back,
But when you left,
A part of my heart died too.

In the evening I try to sleep,
But I keep my eyes open.
Sometimes I also cry at night thinking of you,
And I tell myself that all this could have been avoided.
They tell me, “Turn the page,
It will pass, don’t cry.”
If you knew how I would like to see you,
I feel like my heart is bleeding

I'm waiting for you, hoping to see you again.
I would like to talk to you,
But I don't have wings to fly.
You are too far away for me.
Sometimes the birds sing,
I look at the sky,
And I think of you.
I wish I could fly away,
And never come back down.
