Your Eyes

It's hard to put a smile on someone's face

when your heart is about to break.

The poor young man's tears

are so acidic that they even move him.

The burning flame in your hand

created smoke within my vision.

Lost mind, blurred vision,

forgive me that my soul is being condemned.

I looked into my eyes and was trapped in my reflection,

I soon realised that this love would be complex.

Was this really the end of me?

I had a feeling you wouldn't look at me.

The glass of my soul was breaking more and more,

I could even hear its noise...

The mirror shattered and my heart stopped loving

and sucked the colour out of my eyes until I was blind...

I felt I wasn't alone,

did I appear on your path?

You freed me from my nightmare with your vision,

and you planted a treasure in my heart.

Use the map of my smile for the first time,

it will guide you on the right path this time.

To reach the destination of your love,

look at me, please.
