lyrics

I met you some time ago
Knew your name, knew your number
You're the one, that time I thought
You looked so wellknown, so exiting

If that time you had asked me
I would have said, of course
But you rather seemed to notice me
Why should you?

And now I catch you
Looking at me furtively
I can hardly conceal
My delight
I catch your eye
You look away
But I know ...

Why now?
I can't hurt her
I don't want to leave her now
Is it just a dream
I sometimes hope so
Why do you do this
Why now?

Now I meet you every day
And I can hardly bear your presence
You are tearing me apart and I think
You don't even notice

And now I catch you
Looking at me when I'm looking
Away, I should tell you
About her
Maybe that's the way
To end this state
But I don't think so
