Discover the story of the song > Mannenharten – Nielson

In these lyrics, the protagonist is expressing that when he is silent, he actually has a lot to say, and when he talks, he's not always listening. He admits to sometimes being inattentive and forgetting to give compliments to his partner, even though she's the sweetest. But when she really sees him, she will realize that he's not as tough as he seems on the outside and that it hurts him in his heart to be seen that way. The protagonist wants his partner to look past his exterior and understand who he truly is.
