Flugzeuge im Bauch [English translation]

You have shadows in your glances

Your smile is painted on*

Your thoughts are no longer with me

You caress me mechanically,

completely sterile.

Ice-cold hands, I'm terrified of you.

I feel empty and used,

Everything hurts

I have airplanes in my stomach (butterflies in my stomach).

I can't eat anything anymore

I can't forget you

but even that I'm still successful at (??)*

Give me my heart back,

you don't need my love

Give me my heart back

before it breaks apart

The earlier you leave

The easier it will be for me

I don't need anyone who torments me

anyone who crushes me

anyone who uses me when he wants

wnyone who talks to me only out of a sense of duty

who only satisfies his vanity through me

anyone, who is never there

when one needs him the most

when one is gasping for air, stranded.*

Let me go, leave me alone

so that this can come to an end.

Give me my heart...
