Herbert Grönemeyer - Because of You lyrics

Across my heart there is a memory
Even in the dark it is blinding me
There's nothing I can feel
And it's so unreal because of you

When the dragonflies bring the summer strong
And with all it's light
Makes my heart so raw it's a lost affair
Now that you're not there because of you

All the small talk hurts
And the voices drown
My thoughts in empty words
They just kick me down and I miss your face
Life's lost all it's grace because of you
Because of you life is just an empty space
I lie awake at night no rescue in sight
I should call for help
But all the lines are dead
Loving words you said
Are running through my head
Bittersweet souvenirs are all that's left

No other eyes shine so pure and bright
And without a smile it all fades to white
Now the telephone leaves me on my own
Because of you because of you
All the dreams have overflown
All is said And gone because of you

Across my heart there is a memory
Even in the dark it is blinding me
And the flame you freed is always with me
Because of you because of you
And the tender flame you free
Is always with me because of you
