Lyrics

Hello to you, my childhood

where did you go, out of my eyes?

I am ashamed to face you

this knee of yours has buckled

I had promised that I would be

the hero of your story

but look, I came up short

I died inside this grief of yours

In childhood there was no pain

there was none of this meanness

now I am full of choked tears and sorrow

every night the friend of my own mourning

Forgive me, because I am tired

I am sitting inside a cage

I have forgotten the things you wished for

and my own life has gone to waste

Forgive me, because I am tired

I am sitting inside a cage

I have forgotten the things you wished for

and my own life has gone to waste

In the mirror I see grief

I see a person bent over

where is that happy child of mine?

where is that easy laugh of mine?

The kites went off into the wind

our laughing went out of our memory

our little paper boats

are lost inside our longing

Forgive me, because I am tired

I am sitting inside a cage

I have forgotten the things you wished for

and my own life has gone to waste

Don't cry, my dear one

I will get back on my feet for you

I will build you that paradise

I would give anything for those two eyes of yours

Forgive me that your hands went cold

that your happy days turned into pain

forgive me if I made you old

if I caught you up in sorrows

Forgive me, because I am tired

I am sitting inside a cage

I have forgotten the things you wished for

and my own life has gone to waste

Forgive me, because I am tired

I am sitting inside a cage

I have forgotten the things you wished for

and my own life has gone to waste
