No Words Can Explain
by Gabriel Roybal
I sit in the dark thinking of you
As a single lonely tear rolls down my cheek
I think of how much you hurt me and
How you broke my heart in two.
The image of your face is rushing through my mind
And my eyes are flooded with pain.
My heart has turned to stone
It is so cold inside of me.
Alone I awaken to a sky with no sun
Only clouds carrying rain.
A pain only I can feel burns and burns
Until there is only the blue smoke of dawn.
Everyone is sleeping in someone elses arms
Even the sound of a thousand silences.
Everyone but me!
I used to think I understood love
Now it is causing the death of me.
Love is not the beautiful red rose everyone thinks
Love is the blackening daisy blowing gently in the
Wind in the forgoten meadow of nowhere.
My heart has been forsaken, deserted
And is slowly turning black with pain.
The tears falling from my eyes are slowly
Eroding my heart.
My love for you can not be explained by words
Chieu hoai cam
Nhin may troi ta mo ve phuong ay
Gio thoang qua nghe nhu thay long dau
Goi tam ta len mot noi u hoai
Oi! Khong biet vi le dau nhu the.
Bien chieu nay om noi buon dau be
Mot minh ta trong tu the doi cho
Ma cho gi, va ta lai doi ai
Nhung tam mat van om ghi bien vang.
Bot song kia vo vao bo cat trang
Roi am tham lang le rut bo vo
Chang doi ai, va cung chang mong cho
Oi! Co le mot bong mo ta nho.
