The past

You always have them in front of your eyes
and if she wants to go back,
but you know you have to believe in it
that happiness lies in the future.

The past is over
and you forget all sorts of things.
Most of the time you only see the good
what one feels like.
You can no longer see the argument
to which one was ready at that time.

Even then, people were crying
even if it now seems stupid to us
what was so sad about
back then it was such agony
like what you're crying about right now
and that seems insurmountable.

Often you want to go back there
but does that really make sense?
You (always) want to go into the past
but yesterday also belongs to this time.
And tomorrow becomes today
also yesterday for the people.
