Discover the story of the song > Verlieben, verloren, vergessen, verzeih’n – Wolfgang Petry

The lyrics describe a situation where the protagonist's romantic partner left him and he hit rock bottom. The partner has moved on with someone else now, but the protagonist is still in love with her and can't move on. He reflects on how happy he was before the breakup, but now that she's gone, it's too late to go back. The overall idea is that falling in love, losing love, forgetting it, and forgiving it is a difficult process.
