Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Without you, I am hurting.
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Without you, I am hurting.
You torment my soul,
you shatter the mirror,
I search for you in my dreams,
you have scarred my heart.
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Without you, I am hurting.
In this life that has become a dream,
what is the point of the night?
On this forgotten path,
where has the light gone?
Where did you go,
leaving only pain behind?
Inside its nest, the little bird
is withering away.
You torment my soul... mmm mmm
You shatter the mirror... mmm mmm
I search for you in my dreams,
you have scarred my heart.
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Without you, I am hurting.
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Without you, I am hurting.
You torment my soul,
you shatter the mirror,
I search for you in my dreams,
you have scarred my heart.
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Without you, I am hurting.
