You know I won't miss you anymore
Or wait for your return
I don't want to hear any of your sweet lies.
You made my heart cry,
You broke it and trampled it.
However, this will come to an end!
I want to be strong... Even if you are gone.
I'm not afraid of loneliness anymore.
I will go boldly by myself.
I will find a solution to the problems,
I will support myself and my friends,
I will achieve everything I dream of!
You will become a shadow of the past
Because I have found enough courage to change!
