Leerer Raum [English translation]

I have the door in my hand

I've cleared out all the rooms

Nothing to remember us by

As if we'd just dreamt it all

The keys lie on the table

I've shut the windows

I've watered the flowers again

I've packed up all our pictures

And then I shut off the light

Look back once more

I don't think I'll return again

And the door swings shut

It's time, I let go

And you took us with you a long time ago

Say, how can it be

That nothing of us remains

But this empty room? Just an empty room

It didn't work out in the end

And our home

Is now an empty room, just an empty room

And I go down the stairs

And pass by the mailbox

Where our names are still written

As they were a long time ago

And over in front of the café

Where we were every morning

They're putting out the chairs

Like it's a totally normal day

I hop in and drive off

I quickly look up once more

I know for certain that I won't return

Everything in me goes silent

Because I hardly feel anything anymore

And you took our love with you

Say, how can it be

That nothing of us remains

But this empty room? Just an empty room

It didn't work out in the end

And our home

Is now an empty room, just an empty room

It's funny that, of our time together,

Nothing but white walls remain

Say, how can it be

That nothing of us remains

But this empty room? Just an empty room

It didn't work out in the end

And our home

Is now an empty room, just an empty room

Say, how can it be

That nothing of us remains

But this empty room? Just an empty room

It didn't work out in the end

And our home

Is now an empty room, just an empty room
