She blindfolded my eyes,
She wore me down inside,
She held me in her eyes,
She changed me completely.
She pushed me away and ran,
She left me all alone.
She said all kinds of things,
She cut my heart and threw it away.
I suffered all alone,
I was lost in the pain you caused.
Girl, I writhed in agony,
Thinking of you, I shattered.
Right before my eyes,
The dream that I saw,
Why did it disappear, girl?
What did you do to me?
You killed my heart,
And even to this moment,
I wither away thinking of you.
She blindfolded my eyes,
She wore me down inside,
She held me in her eyes,
She changed me completely.
She pushed me away and ran,
She left me all alone.
She said all kinds of things,
She cut my heart and threw it away.
I suffered all alone,
I was lost in the pain you caused.
Girl, I writhed in agony,
Thinking of you, I shattered.
Right before my eyes,
The dream that I saw,
Why did it disappear, girl?
What did you do to me?
You killed my heart,
And even to this moment,
I wither away thinking of you.
Haa..aa..haa...aa...
Haa...aa..haa...aaaa...haa...
You walked into my eyes on your own,
Now that you are gone, I am nothing.
I held you as my very life in my heart,
Yet you never understood that.
The words you whispered leaning on my shoulder,
I looked for them, but they are gone now.
I stand alone and cry out,
Yet you cannot hear my voice.
I have never cried like this before,
I don't know what to do now.
Because of you, I am stumbling,
Please talk to me a little, girl.
The rainbow that brought me love,
Is nowhere to be found now.
I close my eyes in tears,
Why won't sleep come, girl?
I am begging you, please have some pity on me.
She blindfolded my eyes,
She wore me down inside,
She held me in her eyes,
She changed me completely.
She pushed me away and ran,
She left me all alone.
She said all kinds of things,
She cut my heart and threw it away.
I suffered all alone,
I was lost in the pain you caused.
Girl, I writhed in agony,
Thinking of you, I shattered.
Right before my eyes,
The dream that I saw,
Why did it disappear, girl?
What did you do to me?
You killed my heart,
And even to this moment,
I wither away thinking of you.
She blindfolded my eyes,
She wore me down inside,
She held me in her eyes,
She changed me completely.
She pushed me away and ran,
She left me all alone.
She said all kinds of things,
She cut my heart and threw it away.
I suffered all alone,
I was lost in the pain you caused.
Girl, I writhed in agony,
Thinking of you, I shattered.
Right before my eyes,
The dream that I saw,
Why did it disappear, girl?
What did you do to me?
You killed my heart,
And even to this moment,
I wither away thinking of you.
