Irgendwie gehts mir gut, irgendwie auch nicht,
dieses Auf und Ab geht mir gegen den Strich,
ich weiß voran es liegt und du, du schweigst mich an,
was ich auch sag ich komm nicht an dich ran (ich komm nicht an dich ran)
Refrain:
Du lebst an mir vorbei, entfernst dich mehr und mehr, komm endlich sag was mach`s
mir nicht so schwer,
du lebst an mir vorbei, ich nehm dich kaum noch war, nichts würd sich ändern wärst
du morgen nicht mehr da
Was machen wir hier noch? Was soll der ganze Mist? Ne Beziehung abzufeiern die
längst keine mehr ist,
diese Trägheit macht mich krank,ist nur verschenkte Zeit,
ich wünsch mich weg von dir, weg möglichst weit
Refrain:
Du lebst an mir vorbei......
Bin ich der einzige der hier checkt, dass wir uns nur im Kreise drehn,
merkst du nicht auch das wir einander im Wege stehn
Refrain:
Du lebst an mir vorbei..... (2x)
