You search for me even in my shadow,
and my love stays right beside you.
Both my eyes and eyelids
reach out searching for your hand.
You become the language I listen to,
you become the voice in my words.
Drawn to a girl
whose heart I cannot understand.
Once every single day,
because of you, my heart
shatters without ever saying why.
Even a fleeting moment drags on so heavily,
yet I keep bearing it all.
As colors change with the passing of time,
as this wounded heart slowly heals,
as the days of waiting fade away,
love will still remain behind.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
Like a thorny plant, like a thorny plant,
you pierce thorns into my heart.
Ripping the life right out of me,
why do you walk away?
In this uncertain,
fragile love, I keep stumbling.
And all the blame,
why do you put it on me?
Oh girl,
whose curse is this upon us?
My dear, it will only ache inside from now on.
Even the soil will fail to nourish anything.
My very soul,
it will lose all its feeling.
And our bond will crumble and fall.
The flower will wither without ever blooming.
You search for me even in my shadow,
and my love stays right beside you.
Both my eyes and eyelids
reach out searching for your hand.
You become the language I listen to,
you become the voice in my words.
Drawn to a girl
whose heart I cannot understand.
Oh girl,
whose curse is this upon us?
My dear, it will only ache inside from now on.
Even the soil will fail to nourish anything.
My very soul,
it will lose all its feeling.
And our bond will crumble and fall.
The flower will wither without ever blooming.
