"The Train" | German Rap Song

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
We were young, just a couple of dreamers,
Wrote our names in the sky, promised we’d never leave us.
On that summer evening, hearts beating like trains,
You smiled and said that love is like catching the rain.
Used to dance in the kitchen with the radio low,
Sharing secrets in the dark where only we’d go.
Got your lipstick-stained letters in a box by the bed,
Still hear your laughter echo in my head, in my head.
You said you’d be back by morning, just a trip for a day,
But the platform was empty when I went to the train.
I waited till the stars started losing their glow,
Watched every door open, but you didn’t show.
(Hook)
And now I’m standing on the edge of yesterday,
Watching as the ghost of us slowly fades away.
I still see you on that train, riding through my dreams,
But every time it stops, you’re never there for me.
I’ve been waiting at the station, waiting on a prayer,
Looking down the tracks but you’re never there.
I guess you’re just a memory I can’t let go,
A story that was written but we’ll never know.
(Verse 2)
I wonder where you are, did you find a new light?
Do you miss the way we whispered on those quiet nights?
Do you think about the times when the world felt small?
When the stars overhead were our only walls?
I trace the map you drew on the back of my hand,
Lines fading like the years I can’t understand.
You left a note on the pillow, just a couple of lines,
Said you needed a moment, you’d be back in time.
But moments turned to years and the pages went blank,
I kept flipping through our story but there’s nothing to thank.
I’m still lost in the echoes of your goodbye,
A ghost of the girl who left me wondering why.
(Hook)
And now I’m standing on the edge of yesterday,
Watching as the ghost of us slowly fades away.
I still see you on that train, riding through my dreams,
But every time it stops, you’re never there for me.
I’ve been waiting at the station, waiting on a prayer,
Looking down the tracks but you’re never there.
I guess you’re just a memory I can’t let go,
A story that was written but we’ll never know.
(Bridge)
Maybe you found freedom on a different line,
Maybe you got tired of my worn-out rhymes.
I’ve tried to let go, but my heart still holds,
To the sight of that train and your face in the cold.
I still come to the station, on the days when it rains,
I still hope that someday I’ll see you again.
But the doors keep on closing, the wheels start to groan,
And I’m left in the quiet, just me on my own.
(Outro)
The rails stretch on and on, but they don’t bring you back,
I’m just a silhouette fading on an endless track.
You took the train and my heart left on that ride,
Now I’m standing in the crowd, but I'm empty inside.
Guess love’s like a journey that never returns,
A ticket to nowhere, and a heart that still burns.
I still wait on the platform, hoping for a sign,
But deep down, I know you’re never coming by.
Yeah, deep down, I know you’re never coming by.
