Liebesschmerz (English: Love pain) is the second single from the 1999 Schiller debut album Zeitgeist with spoken word passages by German actor and voice actor Hans Paetsch (1909–2002). Paetsch became famous in the German-speaking countries for narrating fairy tales. The trance music single was officially released on 2 July 1999 and peaked at number 24 on German Singles Chart in 1999. The cover art shows a graphic of a heart.

An example of the spoken words:

Die Liebe kann alles verlangen, doch auch vergänglich kann sie sein.

(Translation from German: "Love can demand anything, but could also fade".)
