My wishes are usually very small.
Somehow you make it feel so tall.
A very small wish, a quiet request.
You only say you need some rest.

So my wish remains, for me alone.
Hope and expectation – everything’s gone.
I still believe in you, don’t get me wrong.
But this has been going on far too long.

Don’t get my hopes up. (up)
It’s going to hurt me so much.
And then I don’t want to be touched.
Don’t get my hopes up.(up)
I can’t cope with it anymore. (more)
It always hits me right into my core.
Please – don’t get my hopes – up. (up)

When I look at you, I see only love.
Sometimes it hurts, even through a glove.
Admit that you can’t do all those things.
My desire now depends on my own wings.

Don’t get my hopes up. (up)
It’s going to hurt me so much.
And then I don’t want to be touched.
Don’t get my hopes up.(up)
I can’t cope with it anymore. (more)
It always hits me right into my core.
Please – don’t get my hopes – up. (up)

Look inside yourself, see what you do.
The one who hurts me most is you. (you)
Please don’t get my hopes up – if that’s the case.
Otherwise you will only see sadness in my face.

Don’t get my hopes up. (up)
It’s going to hurt me so much.
And then I don’t want to be touched.
Don’t get my hopes up.(up)
I can’t cope with it anymore. (more)
It always hits me right into my core.
Please – don’t get my hopes – up. (up)

Don’t get my hopes up. (up)

And then I don’t want to be touched.
Don’t get my hopes up.(up)
I can’t cope with it anymore. (more)
