What really matters

What is important is not what you call it.
Not what you are and if you know everything.
I know the rules, I control the game,
but all that knowledge does not help much.
What really matters, only now I know it.
 
What's important, is not what you have.
Not if your life suits other people.
I did not shy away from any dream
but I have not regretted anything.
What really matters, I know only today.
 
I wanted more, it also was that,
no star was too far away for me.
Now I stand here, I feel very clearly
All this is worth nothing without you.
 
I thought it was important to be free.
I thought that I was happy alone.
And yet, since I lost you,
my life seemed a mistake.
What really matters, I know only today.
 
What is important is often understood too late.
Because you do not understand it with the mind.
I do not know if I'll win you back,
I only know very deep inside of me,
whatever I think or do,
What's important, what's really important,
you are that!
