When you open that hidden door
From that moment, and forever,
Nothing is the same
I should have known I
Should have read the signs
I was taken by surprise
Tell me, tell me it's all in my mind
Tell me you still love me
Tell me to be blind
Can't erase that image of you
Do you still believe, honestly?
Do you still wanna try?
Don't you know, we'd better
Not let go
Leavin' all behind
Someone's gonna hurt
and someone 's gonna cry
You can hide no more
No more secret love
I saw the fire, within your eyes
Can't deny it, I was blinded by the light
No time to argue
No time to cry
Nothing lasts forever
It's the truth, no use in lying
Tell me, tell me it's all in my mind
Tell me you still love me
Tell me to be blind
Can't erase that image of you
Do you still believe, honestly?
Do you still wanna try?
Don't you know, we'd better
Not let go
Leavin' all behind
Someone's gonna hurt
And someone 's gonna cry
You can hide no more
No more secret love
Do you still believe, honestly?
Do you still wanna try?
Don't you know, we'd better
Not let go
Leavin' all behind
Someone's gonna hurt someone
And someone 's gonna cry
´Cause it's too late for lies
Someone's gonna hurt someone
And someone 's gonna cry
You can hide no more
No more secret love

When you open that hidden door
When you finally reveal your true feelings and intentions
From that moment, and forever,
From that moment onward, and for all eternity
Nothing is the same
Everything has changed and will never be as it was before
I should have known I
I should have been aware and understood
Should have read the signs
Should have recognized the indications or hints
Never saw it coming
I was completely unaware or unprepared for it
I was taken by surprise
I was shocked or caught off guard
Tell me, tell me it's all in my mind
Please assure me that it's just a figment of my imagination
Tell me you still love me
Reassure me that your love for me is still intact
Tell me to be blind
Tell me to ignore or overlook the truth
Can't erase that image of you
I cannot remove or forget the memory of you
Do you still believe, honestly?
Do you still have faith or trust, without deceit?
Do you still wanna try?
Do you still wish to make an effort or give it a chance?
Don't you know, we'd better
Don't you realize that it's best for us
Not let go
To hold on and not give up
Leavin' all behind
Abandoning everything from the past
Someone's gonna hurt
Someone is bound to experience pain
and someone 's gonna cry
and someone is bound to shed tears
You can hide no more
You can no longer keep your feelings or intentions concealed
No more secret love
There can no longer be a hidden or clandestine love
I saw the fire, within your eyes
I witnessed the intense passion or desire in your gaze
Can't deny it, I was blinded by the light
I cannot deny it, I was overwhelmed or dazzled by the intensity
No time to argue
There is no opportunity or space to engage in disputes
No time to cry
There is no time or room for tears
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing remains permanent or eternal
It's the truth, no use in lying
It's the undeniable reality, there is no point in being dishonest
´Cause it's too late for lies
Because the time for deceit or falsehoods has passed
