kizutsuita hitomi dare no tame
tozasareta kokoro hiraku made

* Promise you not to lose my heart
Whatever gets on me

Leave my destination in your hands
'Cause I believe in you

Don't you never never ever give up

Feeling your warm heart
Coming back behind the ice-cold mind

Don't you never never ever give up

The song describes feeling surrounded by the craziness of the wind, and walking alone through the city with a heart that's been shut tight. However, the singer promises to keep their heart open and not lose faith. They express a strong feeling of being connected to someone else, and a trust in that bond. The lyrics speak to the struggle of difficult relationships that may involve pain and struggle, but that ultimately are worth fighting for.

The repetition of the "Promise you not to lose my heart" line shows a strong emphasis on trust and the intention to stick to their guns, even when things get hard. The lyrics imply a desire for reuniting with someone and the belief that someday that will happen. The lyrics seem to be expressing both the vulnerability and the strength that come with pushing through difficult times, and the importance of holding on to hope and faith in relationships.

Overall, the song is a powerful anthem for anyone who has had to go through challenging times in relationships, but continues to keep their heart open and believe in the power of deep connection.
