Today I died a second time since I was born,
For a second time my heart is torn.
What has happened I can't tell,
I wonder if you are telling me farewell.
Suddenly and out of the blue,
There's someone else who is in love with you.
I can't blame you for telling me goodbye,
But don't blame me if I silently cry.
I can't blame you for feeling the way you do,
But I am confused and walking around without a clue.
I wish I could change your mind in some way,
But I think I have lost you today.
The night brings shadows to my heart,
Don't worry; it's used being torn apart.
I don't mind walking alone out in the beating rain,
No one can see my tears now, oh that sweet pain.
I don't know where I really stand,
Is it him or do you want me to be your man?
Tell me how I can recapture your heart, because it's mine,
You can say what you want; I had it all the time.
But I will let you go if you should request,
I could never forget you, but I'll do my best.
Even though you never know how much you mean to me,
You have the right to be set free.
And though you may have decided to sail another course,
I have to live without remorse.
I am glad for all those times you've spend with me,
Like a bird you are free.
What I would give if you would only be
So close to me.
But the image of you slowly fades away,
Now I can't say the words I always meant to say.
And I know that all this time I was living a lie.
