I'm sitting here again

In my living room

I'm writing a song for you

And you still don't deserve it

Just so you know right away

It was really easy

I was your number one

And I just wanted you to stay

Do you remember that Schweighöfer movie?

We never watched it to the end

Do you remember the trip to Berlin?

In the end you went there alone

I don't pick up when you call me at night

I don't text back when you ask what I'm doing

I don't listen when you talk about Tinder matches

I hope you hear the song when you're in bed with your next one

You always meet twice

And I'd prefer not once, not ever again

You always meet twice, twice

Let's please try not once, not ever again

We broke up and then another guy showed up

I left him standing alone to go to you

And I'm deleting right now

All your pictures

And the memories too, we won't stay friends

Just think for a sec of Poisel's lyric

I wanted to tell you with that what I want from you

What do you think my mum thinks of you now?

I don't pick up when you call me at night

I don't text back when you ask what I'm doing

I don't listen when you talk about Tinder matches

I hope you hear the song

When you're in bed with your next one

You always meet twice

And I'd prefer not once, not ever again

You always meet twice, twice

Let's please try not once, not ever again

Babe, I'm writing the ending right now, it's not even hard

There's just no chance for the two of us anymore

I know you wish I were with you right now

But your passenger seat still stays empty

I don't pick up when you call me at night

I don't text back when you ask what I'm doing

I don't listen when you talk about Tinder matches

I hope you hear the song

When you're in bed with your next one

You always meet twice

And I'd prefer not once, not ever again

You always meet twice, twice

Let's please try not once, not ever again

SONG MEANING

Zweimal captures that raw moment when you finally slam the door on a relationship that has dragged you through every up and down. Mathea flips through bittersweet memories – half-watched movies, an unfinished Berlin trip, late-night calls – only to realise that each reminder now fuels her resolve to cut ties. The chorus plays on the German saying Man sieht sich immer zweimal (“You always meet twice”), but with a twist: she has no interest in a sequel. Instead, she deletes photos, ignores calls, and turns the very act of songwriting into her goodbye gift, hoping the ex will hear it while lying next to “the next one.”

What makes the track so relatable is its blend of vulnerability and fierce self-respect. Mathea admits she once dropped everything for this person, yet the song is her declaration that there will be kein Mal mehr – no more chances. It is an empowering pop anthem for anyone who has ever wanted to press the reset button, proving that sometimes the best closure comes with a catchy hook and the volume turned all the way up.
