I Am Leaving

Listen my love...

It's time to say
goodbye

Since the day the
world came into
existence it has
been grim and cold!

Like a medicine
we'll have to take
sooner or later

Its taste in our
mouth bitterish
stringent

At this time tears
and promises will be
empty

In an empty solace
we believe.

The curtains fall,
the film is over

The one we thought
would never end.

As you see we've got
nothing to talk
about anymore

Just sorrow in our
eyes.

This is separation
what we had never
expected

It's the twin sister
of death

I'm leaving! We'll
never see each other
again

This were our last
meeting

You'll start a new
life now

with your new
boyfriend

he'll kiss your
hands now

he'll whisper love
to your ear

Except for the
regret

what a shame
...there'll be
nothing left of me
inside of you

put out your
cigarette we can get
up now

10 steps later our
paths have to split

Don't! No don't cry

And don't say
anything to me

Cause even when
you're breaking up
one should stand
tall.

I'm leaving..yes I'm
leaving

We'll never get to
see each other again

This were our last
meeting

You'll start a new
life now

him with your new
girl/boyfriend
