Ständchen

I spent my life suffocating
Ignoring villains living inside me
Oh, my guilt is never-fading
It forever lives on

Under my skin
Killing me from within
Will you stay a part of me
For the rest of my life?

You tighten your grip
Like shackles on both my wrists
Will you stay a part of me
For the rest of my life?

I once was a dreamer
But then I grew up
And saw the real world
When I look in the mirror
I can almost see you crawling

Under my skin
Killing me from within
Will you stay a part of me
For the rest of my life?

I bit my tongue for years
I choked back every tear
I carry you all on my own
'Cause you insist you only feel at home

Under my skin
You're killing me from within
Will you stay a part of me
For the rest of my life?
