I turned the lights down and

But these eyes are strong

Because you'd never know

I'll keep you holding on

Over and over again

There's a world of regret

Lying on my shoulders,
Metaphorically describing the weight of regret as lying on the speaker's shoulders.
It's a cherry bomb

With eyes that glow,
Using vivid imagery to depict regret with glowing eyes, possibly indicating intensity or haunting nature.
Like two big shining stars

In a Hitchcock movie and,
Continuing the Hitchcock movie metaphor, adding to the visual and emotional impact.
My auto pilot is ready to go.
Suggesting a readiness to navigate through challenges automatically, without active involvement.
Now the mirror hurts
Indicating emotional pain caused by self-reflection in the mirror.
And everybody is gone,
Expressing a sense of isolation or abandonment with everyone being gone.
And I'm an expert
Claiming proficiency in pretending that everything is fine, masking inner struggles.
At pretending that nothing's wrong.

Because there's nothing to say
Suggesting a situation where words are inadequate to express the emotional distance.
I'm a million miles away

There's a world of regret
