Herbert Grönemeyer - Because of You lyrics

Across my heart There is a memory Even in the dark It is blinding me There's nothing I can feel And it's so unreal Because of you When the dragonflies Bring the summer strong And with all its light Makes my heart so raw It's a lost affair Now that you're not there Because of you All the small talk hurts And the voices drown My thoughts in empty words They just kick me down And I miss your face Life's lost all its grace Because of you Because of you Life is just an empty space I lie awake at night No rescue in sight I should call for help But all the lines are dead Loving words you said Are running through my head Bittersweet souvenirs Are all that's left No other eyes shine So pure and bright And without a smile It all fades to white Now the telephone Leaves me on my own Because of you Because of you All the dreams Have overflown All is said And gone Because of you Across my heart There is a memory Even in the dark It is blinding me And the flame you freed Is always with me Because of you Because of you And the tender flame you free Is always with me Because of you
