Lyrics: Klaus Meine





Leaving through the back door

Freezing in the cold

Communication breakdown

Emotional overload

Been through a wall of fire

Now I feel like the ashes glow



Cars passing on the freeway

My mind is on the run

I keep running from my shadow

I'm not the only one

Somewhere in the distance

Someone's taking flight

Destination unknown

Just fade into the light



There's so much said and done

But after all

The time has come, to leave it all

Behind



If you could see it through my eyes

You'd know I tried to change it all

I've been trying all my life

To stand up every time I fall

If you could see it through my eyes



I feel sadness up my spine

The future on my hands

I'm standing here alone

With open arms again

Tomorrow ain't no stranger

There'll be a lucky star

And love will find it's way

Into someone's heart



Too late for tears

No time to be confused

It's just the echo of our

Swan song



If you could see it through my eyes

You'd know I tried to change it all

I've been trying all my life

To stand up every time I fall

If you could see it through my eyes

You'd see that love will always wait

Somewhere out there is my life

A new love that comes my way

If you could see it through my eyes

Through my eyes



What was meant to be forever

Is breaking all apart

What was meant to be forever

Leaves the hole inside my heart

What was meant to be forever

We throw it all away

What was meant to be forever

Was nothing but a game

What was meant to be forever

Is breaking all apart

What was meant to be forever
