Ja, Panik - Bittersweet songtext (lyrics)

Well this is such a sad affair
I've opened up my heart oh so many times
But now it's closed

Oh my dear every salty tear
It wrings bittersweet applause

But when the show's in full swing
Every once in a while
High stepping chorus lines
Mean I'm forgetting my lullaby-Liebchen

How rich in contrast love can be
Sometimes I'm quite amused
To see it twist and turn
To taste both sweet and dry

These vintage years
Lovers you consume, my friend
As others their wine

Nein, das ist nicht das Ende der Welt
Gestrandet am
Und das Spiel geht weiter, wie man weiß
Noch viele schönste Wiedersehen

And now as you turn to leave
You try to force a smile as if to compensate
Then you break down and cry
