Ich schrieb nie ein Lied für Karin

I wrote many songs for you
I wrote some songs for myself
Melodies to pass the time
About love
And life as a couple

But no song tells of her
That went with me for so long
Whether it was easy or difficult
I just accepted it
She was there for me

I never wrote a song for Karin
I never wrote a song for her
I found words for so many
But for them never

It will shimmer like her hair
Would be smart like she was
It would laugh just like her
Would be full of life and melancholy

And it would be a memory
And I wouldn't be so alone
With the thanks she never received
Because instead of giving I mostly just took

I never wrote a song for Karin
I never wrote a song for her
I found words for so many
But for them never

I never wrote a song for Karin

And so I stand here
And I've already given some of my
Narrow wisdom for the world
But I know exactly
This one song is missing

I never wrote a song for Karin
I never wrote a song for her
I found words for so many
But for them never

I never wrote a song for Karin
I realize it much too late
This song that never existed
Could be my most beautiful day today
