The Ties that bind us [German translation]

I know that look of yours when its help you need

I know of all the reasons why you curse me

I know of every place that you'd like to be

In every domain

It’s always the same

I know your drowsiness in the morning light

I know of every step that you take, outright

I know your ways when you want to start a fight

All we’ve been through now

Just row after row

You and I put up with this sullen mess

Now it’s time to confess

The ties that bind us, it's no longer love

We’re just too scared to live life alone

A life in blindness, a love we’re not worthy of

The truth that we’ve known doesn’t cut to the bone

I know you when you’re having a cranky day

If you are in a temper there’s hell to pay

Your image in my mind has long gone away

So idle and slow

You let yourself go

Stop your lies, open your eyes if you can

I’m no longer your man

The ties that bind us, it’s no longer love

We’re just too scared to live life alone

A life in blindness, a love we’re not worthy of

The truth that we’ve known doesn’t cut to the bone

All the spirits that we called for

Have been silent for so long

And no one hears my silent scream

I’m not the one you want to fight for

Head in the sand, it’s been too long

I dig us out, I give up on our dream

The ties that bind us, it's no longer love

It’s time to see that our love must have flown

The ties that bind us, it's no longer love

We’re just too scared to live life alone

A life in blindness, a love we’re not worthy of

The truth that we’ve known doesn’t cut to the bone

The ties that bind us, that's no longer love

We’re just too scared to live life alone

A life in blindness, a love we’re not worthy of

It’s time to see that these ties have not grown

The truth that we’ve known doesn’t cut to the bone
