Gestern Abend seit ewig langer Zeit einen längst fälligen Besuch gemacht.
Allein hätte ich vermutlich nicht alles so leicht verdrängt.
Allein hätte ich ein Foto von ihr irgendwo gesehen und wäre wieder in diese endlose, tiefschwarze Spirale des Nachdenkens gefallen.
Allein sein wäre wohl gefährlicher gewesen.

Ich glaube, wir haben einander gestern dabei geholfen, alles zu vergessen.
Ich bin froh, dass wir das taten.

I can check out any time I like
Nothing hurts like brave tomorrows
At the end of your line
Close the door and hide the phone
Nip the bud and still the branches
That you're leaving behind

I should have told you
That's not the way
That's no way to break my heart
I should have told you
That's not the way
That's no way to break my
That's no way to break my heart

I could tell by the way you walked
I could tell by the way you gave me
What I knew wasn't mine
Doesn't matter if it's all night long
Doesn't matter if you're gone by Monday
Just as long as you're right

I should have told you
That's not the way
That's no way to break my heart
I should have told you
That's not the way
That's no way to break my
That's no way to break my heart

I don't know what side you're on
I don't know what makes you happy
Except watching me cry
Like a ghost in an old hotel
Hanging onto bits of nothing
I'm leaving you now

I should have told you
That's not the way
That's no way to break my heart
I should have told you
That's not the way
That's no way to break my
That's no way to break my heart

I should have told you
(Hanging onto bits of nothing)
That’s not the way
(Hanging onto bits of nothing)
That’s no way to break my heart
(Hanging onto bits of nothing)
(Hanging onto bits of nothing)
I should have told you
(Hanging onto bits of nothing)
That's not the way
(Hanging onto bits of nothing)
That's no way to break my
(Hanging onto bits of nothing)
That's no way to break my heart
(Hanging onto bits of nothing)
