[Verse 1]
After all you still asked for her a few times and often visited the places that once unified you
But you lost sight so many years ago, and you should never ever meet again
It was never granted to you, and if you don’t belong to each other, nobody can pair
And sooner or later our disconcerting life will tear all of us apart
[Verse 2]
On occasion I return to the persistent places that formed me back in the days
I return home and drink with the guys, that eventually were my friends back then
And I know, even if it sometime feels as if time would stand still
Life is too short for these thoughts, it’s never going be like back in those days
[Verse 3]
But don’t you feel better now in the long term? You can’t dispute this
But I know you are still believing your new-found happiness means grief to her
You still believe you did her wrong and so directly caused her grief
But believe me, the guilt is her own, so don’t feel guilty for something you didn’t cause
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
The places from back then, I must visit them so badly
I can never forget them, without them I’d feel total abandoned
And I know even if it feels like it sometimes, we will never turn back time
It will never be like back then, but something calls back me home consistently
[Verse 5]
You never had the chance to talk about all this, that’s why you never got over this breach
But the wounds will last forever, even if you write more than 100 songs to her distant echo
Look, tragedy is inevitable, nobody can escape
And you would still dream of freedom today, or just write about it in your poems
[Bridge]
My Freedom, my freedom was her death
My Freedom, my freedom was her death
My Freedom, my freedom was her death
My Freedom, my freedom was her death
My Freedom, my freedom was her death
My Freedom, my freedom was her death
My Freedom, my freedom was her death
My Freedom, my freedom was her death
[Verse 5]
Still the word hope is impressively to read in my eyes
Still a small part in me believes that everything has a happy ending
But I also feel, that the winters gets longer every year
And every spring I feel like it won’t get warm again…
