Like a captain floundered in the ocean of ice
Sinking deep in pain but unable to scream
That was how I felt
The first day I fell in love
Dinner had no taste
Friendships had no meanings
All I wanted for life was you
That was how I felt
The first time I fell in love
Sleep scampered from my bed
Night left only worries behind
I rolled alone on my mat
And smiled continuously at nothing
That was how I felt
The first time I feel in love
There was melody everywhere you were
With you the sun smiled and the wind sang
I gave my heart for you all at once
But you grinded it into powder
And blew it into the air
Without looking back
You left without any goodbye
Vowing your love to any other but me
The heart may be strong enough to forgive great betrayals
But will never heal from the wounds of love
For the deepest of all pains
And the sourest of all tears
Are those caused by those we truly love
