Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Auch wenn ihr bereut, ich verzeihe euch nicht
Eure Liebe bringt mich ins Grab
Jeden Tag senkt ihr mich tiefer hinab
Eure Liebe tötet mich
Und doch bin ich
Unersättlich
Weil ihr zur gleichen Zeit
Die Medizin verschreibt
Unersetzlich
Die Blumen glotzen mich an
Von oben herab, ein Sterben lang
Die Flaggen wehen im Licht
Auch wenn ihr bereut, ich verzeihe euch nicht
Eure Liebe tötet mich
Und doch bin ich
Unersättlich
Weil ihr zur gleichen Zeit
Die Medizin verschreibt
Unersetzlich
Eure Liebe tötet mich
Eure Liebe tötet mich
Auch wenn ihr bereut, ich verzeihe euch nicht
