What you’ve been given
and what you will take
is never a reason
to make a clean break.
Believe me!

Things come and go
(and) always wear out.
That you must know
on leaving them out.
Believe me!

What you believe is made of gold
is looking good cause so you’re told.
Believe me, now!
Believe me!

What you have found so beautiful
is gonna break down after all.
Believe me, now!
Believe me!

And all the things that
we just wanna have at hand.
Are just the things that
we can use to understand
how useless they turn out
to be without control.
That you will find,
that you will know
- they’re nothing at all.
