Great song. I felt identificated with this song a lot:

It is about being left. The loved one said a lot of beautiful things about the singer and he couldn't resist falling in love: "why have you put so many things into my eyes that i can't see clear" but then, the loved one left him and he doesn't know why the loved one told him so beautiful words of love and now is leaving: "who's paid you for telling me what i'm worth and run in fear". The singer doesn't understand anything about the loved one and he tries to retain the love: "what is it in my eyes a piece of broken glass is this the time i should be on my knees for you" The singer asks the loved for a reason: "Is this your way of telling me another has been found", but then, the singer understand that he is being left and cries:"now i know, it's teargas in my eyes"
