Lyrics
There's many a time
Reflecting on various instances
When I'd wake up in a cold sweat
Experiencing intense anxiety upon waking
That nightmare of mine
Recalling a recurring and distressing dream
Left me exhausted and all wet
The nightmare caused exhaustion and perspiration
Disappointments lay
Failures and letdowns exist
Between dream and reality
Existence of obstacles between dreams and reality
You carelessly play
You play without considering your vulnerabilities
With no account for your frailty
Acting recklessly without acknowledging fragility
When I whispered that I loved you
Expressing love through a quiet confession
While I'm not a great romancer
Acknowledging a lack of great romantic prowess
When we promised to be true
Making a commitment to faithfulness
Your eyes gave me your answer
Confirmation of commitment observed in your eyes
How would I repair
Contemplating how to mend a wounded heart
If there were damage to my heart
Pondering hypothetical damage to the heart
Yet in my despair
Discovering hope amid feelings of hopelessness
Arose the promise of a new start
A commitment to a fresh beginning emerges
Gaze across this space
Directing a gaze across a distance
Can you feel what is in my eyes
Inviting the other to perceive emotions through the eyes
As I search your face
Searching for answers in the other's facial expressions
I see the answer in your eyes
Finding the response within the other's eyes
When I whispered that I loved you
Reiterating love through a whispered affirmation
While I'm not a great romancer
Acknowledging a lack of expertise in romance
When we promised to be true
Renewing the commitment to truthfulness
Your eyes gave me your answer
Receiving confirmation of commitment through the eyes
