Stärker (feat. Zeynep Avci) English translation
von Johannes Oerding

Don't walk away from me
Don't walk away from me
If you walk away
Don't walk away from me

I thought I was stronger
But precisely because it hurts me so much, it shows me
That all of this was worth something
That all of this was worth something, we were both worth something

I thought I was strong
But the pain inside me is too deep
The things we experienced together
The things we experienced together that made us who we are

Doors are closed, rooms are
Dark, no more, I've tried
I can't take it anymore, forgive me
Just let me go, abandon me


I tried, I tried for years
I listened, I loved you
I can't do it, forgive me
Don't cause pain, just leave me

I thought I was stronger
But precisely because it hurts me so much, it shows me
That all of this was worth something
That all of this was worth something, we were both worth something

I thought I was strong
But the pain inside me is too deep
What we experienced together
What we experienced together, that made us who we are (don't walk away from me)

(Don't walk away from me)

Do you really think I still care?
I'm finally free and have space just for myself
What was
Is almost irrelevant

Just because I freeze every night and wake up in a panic
Doesn't mean I'm counting the time without you
It's been nine days and ten hours
11 minutes, 12 seconds


I thought I was strong
But the pain inside me is too deep
The things we experienced together
The things we experienced together that made us who we are

I thought I was stronger
But precisely because it hurts me so much, it shows me
That all of this was worth something
That all of this was worth something, we were both worth something (don't walk away from me)

(Don't walk away from me)
(Don't walk away, don't walk away)

I thought I was strong
But the pain inside me is too deep
The things we experienced together
The things we experienced together that made us who we are

I thought I was stronger
But precisely because it hurts me so much, it shows me
That all of this was worth something
That all of this was worth something, we were both worth something

I thought we were stronger
But precisely because it hurts us so much, it shows us
That all of this was worth something
That all of this was worth something, that we were both worth something
