Flugzeuge im Bauch [English translation]

You've got shadows in your eyes

Your smile is painted on

Your thoughts aren't with me any more

You stroke me mechanically

Completely sterile

Ice-cold hand, I recoil from you

I feel empty and used-up

Everything hurts

I've got airplanes in my stomach

Can't eat any more

Can't forget you

But I'll get through this somehow

Give me my heart back

You don't need my love

Give me my heart back

Before it breaks completely

The sooner, the sooner you go

The easier, the easier it will be for me.

I don't need someone who tortures me

Someone who oppresses me

Someone who uses me whenever she wants

Someone who talks to me from a sense of duty

Someone who assuages her vanity with me

Someone who's never there

When I need her the most

When I'm gasping for air, swimming on dry land

Let me go, leave me in peace

So I can finally put an end to this
