[Intro]
[Verse 1]
In my youth we were
youth always with
Many friends together
On the road.
[Chorus]
Our friends fade while we stand by,
Unseen farewells and quiet goodbyes
[Verse 2]
Then the first couples
Begin to marry and even then
We are all still together
But you can already feel a
Change.
[Chorus]
Who has decided
to take a different path
and who has decided
not to ask me
[Verse 3]
The circle of friends is slowly
But steadily smaller, the parties
Are getting less and you have
Hardly any time to meet
To meet up with someone
[Chorus]
Who has decided
To take a different path
and who decided
not to ask me
[Verse 4]
When you meet then
They are no longer parties
but baptisms or
birthdays of the little ones.
[Bridge]
Sometimes you stop for a moment
Look around, see the old
old companions and think
There are a few missing,
what has become of them?
[Chorus]
Who has decided
to take a different path
and who has decided
not to ask me
[Verse 5]
Then you ask the others
Whether they know what has become of the others
Has become or where they are.
No one really knows anything.
[Chorus]
who has decided
to take a different path
and who has decided
not to ask me
[Verse 6]
And you realize how the former
friendships lose their color.
You set off to
to find out what happened to the
what has happened to the others
[Chorus]
who has decided
to take a different path
and who decided
not to ask me
[Verse 7]
you find her and it turns out
turns out that you now have
another circle of friends,
one where your hair stands on end
[Chorus]
who has decided
to take a different path
and who decided
not to ask me
[Verse 8]
but you also hear that they have not
invitations anymore
That they are unwanted
And you ask yourself
Where have my friends gone
We always stood up for each other.
[Chorus]
Who decided
To take a different path
and who decided
not to ask me
[Verse 9]
You decide
Not to go to the festivals anymore
because you are deeply disappointed by the people at the
deeply disappointed and because
You know that someone simply
has decided for you not to
To stop at every stop.
[Outro]
Now was the time and the right
point to stop the bus at
the next stop
To leave.
