Långsamt Farväl [English translation]

I wish I could say

That this is just is a phase we're going through.

A storm that we have have to ride out.

I wish I could say

That we could do this together,

That everything will be okay after all.

But how do you tell somebody,

That the road ends here?

And how do you tell somebody,

What your heart longs for?

I can't lie to you.

You know me too well.

And when you look me in the eyes,

As they say ...

That we might be who we are.

So don't give me a reason.

What should we call this?

It's just

A slow goodbye.

Here is your queen without a crown,

Indifferent and tired, a pitiful figure,

Who you never really knew.

When I look over my shoulder,

At the years that just left,

I see everything that was lost,

But also everything that we had.

And what do you say to someone

Who wants to start all over again,

When it's already too late,

When you're already on your way?

I can't lie to you.

You know me too well.

And when you look me in the eyes,

As they say ...

That we might be who we are.

So don't give me a reason.

What should we call this?

It's just

A slow goodbye.

I wash my hands in the name of love.

You can't win everything, sometimes you lose.

But the way we're going, it leads,

It leads to nowhere.

I can't lie to you.

You know me too well.

And when you look me in the eyes,

As they say ...

That we might be who we are.

So don't give me a reason.

What should we call this?

It's just

A slow goodbye.
