[Verse 1]
I can't remember anymore, how did your food taste?
How does your voice sound when you wake me up?
What was I like as a kid? Did I do a lot of shit?
What did we do when we were alone at home?
What was it like for us here in Germany after the war?
Were you often disappointed with your boys?
All I know is that part of this family is missing
And just that I love you so much, ah

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I look in the stars at night
And I see your face in front of me
It reflects so beautifully in the Elbe
Even though I know you're not herе
I sit all alone at the harbor in the cold
Evеn when I almost freeze to death
As half of my heart is missing
What I have left is a piece of paper

[Chorus]
I don't know if you hear me when I say something
If you see me under the radar
Are you really here when I'm not sleeping?
I can still feel it, even when you are silent
I don't know if you hear me when I say something
Or if you see me under the radar
Are you really here when I'm not sleeping?
I can still feel it, even when you are silent
[Verse 2]
Why can't you stay? Just to see what we've achieved
To see that both of your boys are in the clear
Why did you have to suffer so much? I don't take the doctors' words
Why are they telling me you're in a better place?
Since you left, dad has been losing his memory
You died at thirty-five, today he just turned sixty
Sit' at the pier, my tears are fallling like drizzle
For us it means saying goodbye and praying for a reunion

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I look in the stars at night
And I see your face in front of me
It reflects so beautifully in the Elbe
Even though I know you're not here
I sit all alone at the harbor in the cold
Even when I almost freeze to death
As half of my heart is missing
What I have left is a piece of paper

[Chorus]
I don't know if you hear me when I say something
If you see me under the radar
Are you really here when I'm not sleeping?
I can still feel it, even when you are silent
I don't know if you hear me when I say something
Or if you see me under the radar
Are you really here when I'm not sleeping?
I can still feel it, even when you are silent
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I look in the stars at night
And I see your face in front of me
It reflects so beautifully in the Elbe
Even though I know you're not here
I sit all alone at the harbor in the cold
Even when I almost freeze to death
As half of my heart is missing
What I have left is a piece of paper

[Chorus]
I don't know if you hear me when I say something
If you see me under the radar
Are you really here when I'm not sleeping?
I can still feel it, even when you are silent
I don't know if you hear me when I say something
Or if you see me under the radar
Are you really here when I'm not sleeping?
I can still feel it, even when you are silent (And when you say nothing)

[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (And when you say nothing)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
