[English] And yesterday the news reached me
I don't know, but it almost broke me
Because nobody can tell me how it happened
None of our people were there anymore
You were doing well, that's what I was told
Why didn't I ever ask you that myself?
You could have become someone great
And somehow I didn't want to grant you that
And I still wanted to say goodbye
I'll never forgive myself for that
Man, how could you leave us?
Now I'm never supposed to see you again

Forgive me for all the things I said
Just because something was bothering me again
Forgive me and the boys for not being there
Forgive me for not being able to handle all of this
And I still wanted to say goodbye
I'll never forgive myself for that
Man, how could you leave us?
Now I'm never supposed to see you again
And I still wanted to say goodbye
I'll never forgive myself for that
Man, how could you leave us?
Now I'll never see you again
What do we do now without our hero?
We miss you and I don't give a damn about the big money
You're gone, what good is all this crap?
Oh, my little brother will be missed forever
And I still wanted to say goodbye
I'll never forgive myself for that
Man, how could you leave us?
Now I'm never supposed to see you again
And I still wanted to say goodbye
I'll never forgive myself for that
Man, how could you leave us?
Now I'm never supposed to see you again
Never see again, oh, oh
Saying goodbye, oh
Man how could you leave us, hey
Now I'm never supposed to see you again

We miss you
What do we do now?
Ooh, we miss you
Ah
Ooh, we miss you, yeah
Oh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh (ooh)
Ooh, ooh
Ooh (ooh)
Ooh (ooh)
Ooh we miss you
I miss you, ooh
