i knew the way to get her
was to let her know
that i didn't want her
don't let it show

i knew i could not stop her
her mind was slow
she hoped i couldn't see her
when her tears would flow

now she's long gone
does she know the way
maybe she's wrong
but she likes the jade

and the walls of berlin
couldn't stand the hate
her walls are iron
and i cannot wait

now she's long gone
does she know the way
i know she's wrong
but she likes the jade

now to say i'm sorry
for my heart that's free
is to live in a silence
that's killing me

now to say i'm sorry
for my heart that's free
is to live in a prison
just you and me
