Ständchen

I spent my life suffocating

Ignoring villains living inside me

Oh, my guilt is never-fading

It forever lives on

Under my skin

Killing me from within

Will you stay a part of me

For the rest of my life?

You tighten your grip

Like shackles on both my wrists

Will you stay a part of me

For the rest of my life?

I once was a dreamer

But then I grew up

And saw the real world

When I look in the mirror

I can almost see you crawling

Under my skin

Killing me from within

Will you stay a part of me

For the rest of my life?

I bit my tongue for years

I choked back every tear

I carry you all on my own

'Cause you insist you only feel at home

Under my skin

You're killing me from within

Will you stay a part of me

For the rest of my life?
