Bitter-Sweet Lyrics

Well this
is such a sad affair
I've opened up my heart
O' so many times
but now it's closed

Ohh-oh, my dear,
every salted tear it brings
bitter-sweet applause

But when the show is in full swing
every once in a while
high-stepping chorus-lines
we are forgetting
mein lullaby - liebchen

How rich
in contrast love can be
sometimes I'm quite amused
to see it twist and turn
to taste
both sweet and dry

These vintage years
lovers you consume, my friend
as others
their wine

Nein
das ist nicht
Das ende der Welt
Gestrandet an Leben und Kunst
Und das spiel geht weiter
Wie man weiss
Noch viele 'schoum'
wiedersehen
(Translation of German lyrics:
No
this is not the end
of the world
Stranded because of life and art
And the game goes on
as you know
Schoum
see you)

And now
as you turn to me
you try to force a smile
as if to compensate
then you break down
and cry
