My restless heart melts,
My body burns like glowing embers.
Even after knowing reality, within me,
A shadow withers under the light.
The dream that lived in my eyes is gone,
And here I stand alone on the shore.
My silent heart still yearns,
Searching for love; come to me, my love.
The sky is slowly fading,
Singing a song without any words.
In this wounded, longing heart,
Your memories keep rushing in.
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Separated by different paths,
I drifted away from my own self.
Just through your gaze, I understood
Everything about you.
What this deep longing of mine is,
Doesn't your silent devotion know?
Will all the answers you give
Ever be accepted by our time?
As loneliness stretches endlessly,
And all change sinks away,
As our memories slowly fade,
I am wearing away along with you.
Even fire feels cold today,
And daylight vanishes into darkness.
In the faint light that remains,
The corner of your eye appears.
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
