It hurts deep inside
My heart is aching
You walked away and left me behind
With sweet, tender words
She who laughed and spoke so fondly
Threw my heart away and left
You came and comforted me with your love
Today, it has all turned to dust
Why did you build a love as fragile as glass?
I will still live on with your memory
Enough of this curse
Will I ever be set free?
My sleep is gone
She comes into my dreams
Wherever I go
I only see her face
Her loving words
Keep echoing in my ears
My silent pain without you
Will it turn into an unquenchable fire?
Without you by my heart
Will all these gathered wounds ever melt away?
My aching heart does not understand
That this turbulent love is no more
Like an active volcano that refuses to calm down
No matter how hard I try to hold it in, I cannot
Why, my dear? Listen to the truth
You are the only one in this girl's heart
Who is there to comfort me?
Look at how cruel this loneliness is
Enough of this curse
Will I ever be set free?
My sleep is gone
She comes into my dreams
He comes into my dreams
Wherever I go
I only see her face
Her loving words
Keep echoing in my ears again and again
