Here a translation which I attempted while listening to it. It's far worse than the original. But you get an idea.


It's midnight and I can't sleep
Because there's thousand thoughts I am sending you
And I miss you more and more

You lie next to me
I can't feel you
and I can't ignore her
the fear of losing you

to believe that you are fine
and that you don't think of me
it just hurts...
it's a rotten feeling...it torments me

do you ever think back
at the beginning
when it was fine to just be in love
hoping to be just what the other needed

when did that day come?
the first doubts whether our road will go on forever?

WHAT CAN YOU DO?
when the heart burns
when the flames eat away your soul

what can you do?
when the heart burns
when ashes are all that's left of our love

what can you do?

where does that hate come from?
that makes us fight for every piece of nothing

with razor-sharp words
we stab each other
and cut our love into pieces
...we can't change it

WHAT CAN YOU DO?
when the heart burns
when the flames eat away your soul

what can you do?
when the heart burns
when ashes are all that's left of our love

You can do nothing
You can do nothing
You can do nothing
You can do nothing
