Vergessen English translation
von Cassandra Steen

I see shadows where there are none
And I run after them
I thought the emptiness would fill itself
It would come little by little
I broke with every habit
And cursed the day
That I saw you for the first time
Now I’ve managed for so long
Not to think of you
I’ve tried everything
But I can’t forget you
I hear your voice
See how you laugh
Can’t eat and lie awake for hours
I’ve tried everything
But I can’t forget you


I was sure
I could somehow fix it again
I would regain my joy in life
Lift my gaze forward
And always walk upright
I want to finally see myself laugh again

Now I’ve managed for so long
Not to think of you
I’ve tried everything
But I can’t forget you
I hear your voice
See how you laugh
Can’t eat and can’t sleep
And lie awake for hours
I’ve tried everything
But I can’t forget you

My friends say
“Be glad, now you’re free”
The walls keep closing in
I’m not free, I’m alone
I still hear them say
“The pain will pass”
I’m not free, I’m alone
This can’t be my reality


Now I’ve managed for so long
Not to think of you
I’ve tried everything
But I can’t forget you
I hear your voice
See how you laugh
Can’t eat and lie awake for hours
I’ve tried everything
But I can’t forget you

I hear your voice
See how you laugh
Can’t eat and lie awake for hours
I’ve tried everything
But I can’t forget you

I hear your voice
See how you laugh
Can’t eat and lie awake for hours
I’ve tried everything
But I can’t forget you
