I was kind of your sister all the time   we needed no words to communicate   you were kind of my brother all the time   we knew we would never separate   and when there were hard times we helped,    consulted and consoled each other   and even if we didn‘t meet for a while   when we came together again   we understood at once what the other meant      and it's a lie that I don't need    your company anymore   but I will not bleed,    even though it hurts    and I mustn't weep,    or try to hold you back   it's your decision,    if you really want to go   get away right now   if I could decide which heart to love   I swear; it would be yours      This time you're here to tell me   you‘re in love- that's nothing new   I could consult you, like I always did before   but this time it's something else:   it hurts you to stay with me, and I don‚t want to lose you    nor do I want you to love me, because I don‘t love you like that   and if it hurts you, you‘re right to go   it hurts me too, but you don't have to know
