Tusen bitar [English translation]

It is said that above the clouds, the sky is always blue

But it can be heard to believe when you don't see it

And it is said that after rain, the sun appears again

But it seldom helps those who have got wet

Because when the friends disappear, or love ends

You see everything with slightly different eyes

You practise, and slowly you get better at seeing

The difference between truths and lies

Everything can break in two, but a heart can break into a thousand pieces

If you say that you are my friend, then maybe you are

It is said that there's always something good in what happens

And faith is often what gives us strength

Yes, they say a lot, but one knows so little about oneself

When anxiety and loneliness comes

Because when the friends disappear, or love ends

You see everything with slightly different eyes

You practise, and slowly you get better at seeing

The difference between truths and lies

Everything can break in two, but a heart can break into a thousand pieces

If you say that you are my friend, then maybe you are

If you say that you are my friend, then surely you are
