Lyrics
He watches her while she is sleeping
He observes her while she is in a state of sleep.
He wonders if he could watch her forever
He contemplates the possibility of continuously watching her for an extended period.
He wants to know every secret she keeps
He desires to unravel every hidden aspect or secret she keeps.
He wants to know what it is that keeps them together
He wishes to understand the factors that bind them together as a couple.
He doesn't know what is real anymore
He experiences a sense of confusion and uncertainty, unable to distinguish reality.
He tries to read the reflections from her eyes
He attempts to interpret emotions or information by observing reflections in her eyes.
He never stopped to think about love and direction
He acknowledges that he has neglected considerations of love and direction in his life.
He only took the truth from his paranoid lies
He has derived his understanding of truth from his own unfounded, paranoid thoughts.
Sometimes the beauty starts to die
At times, the beauty in their relationship starts to diminish.
When it's over
Expresses a point when the relationship concludes or reaches an end.
Torture yourself by asking why
Suggests a self-inflicted emotional pain by questioning why the relationship ended.
But it's over
Reiterates that the relationship has come to an end.
She watches him as he is leaving
She observes him as he departs from her presence.
She waits all night till he comes home
She waits anxiously throughout the night for his return.
She fabricates another reason to stay
She invents another justification to remain in the relationship, driven by a fear of loneliness.
She's always so afraid of being alone
She consistently harbors a fear of being alone.
She doesn't know what is real anymore
Similar to him, she struggles to distinguish reality from illusion.
She tries to read the reflections from his eyes
She, too, attempts to understand his emotions through reflections in his eyes.
She never stopped to think about love and direction
Similar to him, she realizes she has overlooked considerations of love and direction.
She only took the truth from her paranoid lies
She, too, has accepted a distorted truth based on her own paranoid thoughts.
Sometimes the beauty starts to die
Reiteration that the beauty in the relationship may fade over time.
When it's over
Restates the point that the relationship has concluded.
Torture yourself by asking why
Echoes the idea of self-inflicted emotional turmoil by questioning the reasons for the end.
But it's over
Confirms the finality of the relationship, acknowledging that it is indeed over.
