Dein zweites Leben

You hide behind your wet hands,
wet from your tears,
the same questions for 20 years,
what did you do to deserve this?
You meant well to him, fulfilled every wish,
how many sleepless nights did you spend,
feeling only his blows as thanks for everything,
tender and loving, you haven't been touched in a long time.

REF.: But the punishment for his actions, it comes on its own,
don't wait, start your second life,
otherwise you will never be happy.
Pack your things, go your own way,
now or never, otherwise it's too late.
Forget the role as a woman and live the role as a human,
he will never change, you know that for sure.

Night after night, uncertainty and fear,
is he drunk or not?
Now you feel his hand,
you smell his breath and then you realize,
that even today he won't keep his hands off you,
you may be his wife and have sworn him loyalty,
but you certainly weren't born for such a life,
wipe away your tears and take this step,
take only the joy of another life with you.
