lyrics

Hey you - Is it me, are you sleeping
Your eyes - What eyes, I see, are empty
Come back to old memories when time made us laugh
You turn around and you turn again thinking of what’s waiting out there

Hear me, shake me, make me understand why fate is so natural
Hold me, touch me, make me understand why fate is so natural

Say goodbye old age, I feel I’m already gone, I don’t care anymore

Talking for nothing, watching for nothing
Laughing for nothing, faking for nothing
I turn around and a turn again wondering what I could do for you
But you keep shouting and you cry again “leave me I’m done it is true”

Hear me, shake me, make me understand why fate is so natural
Hold me, touch me, make me understand why fate is so natural
Hear me, shake me, make me understand why fate is so natural

Say goodbye old age, I feel I’m already gone, I don’t care anymore

I’m so afraid...
