Ich überleb's [English translation]

Your departure was a big blow for me

I believed

I wouldn't be able to live

without you.

But over time, I found out

that even the greatest pain vanishes.

I learned

how to stand on my own legs.

You are back

I care not

I come in here and you sit here

and make a sad face.

I should have changed the door lock.

But if you were to honestly ask me,

I never thought

that you dare to turn up again.

At last take off

There's the door

Make sure you get out

Say,

what do you want then here?

Did you believe

your "goodbye" hurts me so much

that I['d] break down and die without you.

Oh

No

Not me

I [will] survive

as long as I live my life

give meaning to my love '.

If there's anyone here who died

it's clear

that you [were] the one.

I [will] survive

I [will] survive.

I've long fought with myself and with all my strength.

My heart was heavy, and at last

Though in the end I managed.

Many nights I lay awake

and felt sorry for myself

I cried

but I'm over it as it seems to me.

I am like new

Just look at me

I'm no longer a little stupid thing

that anyone can hurt.

That is why you now come and think

that I've waited for you

that I have been waiting for you

But I'm saving all my love for whomever

can wait for me.

At last take off

There's the door

Make sure you get out

Say[,]

what do you want then here?

Did you believe

your "goodbye" hurts me so much

that I['d] break down and die without you.

Oh

No

Not me

I [will] survive

as long as I live my life

give meaning to my love '.

If there's anyone here who died

it's clear

that you [were] the one.

I [will] survive

I [will] survive.

At last take off

There's the door

Make sure you get out

Say[,]

what do you want then here?

Did you believe

your "goodbye" hurts me so much

that I['d] break down and die without you.

Oh

No

Not me

I [will] survive

as long as I live my life

give meaning to my love '.

If there's anyone here who died

it's clear

that you [were] the one.

I [will] survive

I [will] survive.

At last take off...
