Wer einmal lügt [English translation]

You confided in me

And I had it hanged with a rusty nail

You placed your hope in me alone

Sorry, but I underestimated myself

Hope isn't dead just yet

Sometimes we start out all naïve

Like I'll say something, and you'll believe it right away

We're simply just too nice.

But hear me out, my child.

The truth will come to light

And to those who lie, they will garner no trust

The truth which you cannot discern

And to whomever confides in me, I will lie to them eye to eye.

You trusted me, and you're upset

You become teary eyed again

I said I promised, but never kept my oaths

But from all that, you lost your mind

You didn't play your cards well

Now you're just shitting around1over and over again

You're calm once again, and you gain new courage

And I am oblivious to your rage.

And now I must return the favor.

The truth will come to light

And to those who lie, they will garner no trust

The truth which you cannot discern

And to whomever confides in me, I will lie to them eye to eye.
