Wonders
August 28, 2013
Wondering how it all came to this
But it seems I already know
And don't want to face the truth about it
The fact that you're gone.
We didn't mean to hurt you
We wanted you to be safe
After all, we love you
That's what family is for.
So maybe I'll get over it
Maybe if you forgive us
I'll let it pass from my mind
But I know it probably won't happen.
Wonders don't come true
Unless you wish hard
So I'll pray every night for you
For you to forgive us
And, because Germans are stubborn, it probably won't happen for a while.
