Lyrics and translation
Original
We were never ordinary
All the weight we carry
Will help us write our story
In the darkest night, you were born to shine
When the night grows cold, but your blood runs warm
And everything you touch just melts away and leaves you alone
No one understands the noise in your head
Such a simple melody playing over and over again
But why would you wanna blend in when you are drenched in gold?
We were never ordinary
All the weight we carry
Will help us write our story
In the darkest night, you were born to shine
We were never ordinary
All the weight we carry
Will help us write our story
In the darkest night, you were born to shine
(We were never ordinary)
It was never far, never out of reach
The ember in the dark lies quiet, burning just beneath
Isolated, complicated, will we find a way to make it out alive?
And I feel so alone, oh
But why would you wanna blend in when you are drenched in gold?
We were never ordinary
All the weight we carry
Will help us write our story
In the darkest night, you were born to shine
We were never ordinary
All the weight we carry
Will help us write our story
In the darkest night, you were born to shine
You don't have to hide away your individuality
'Cause when I look at you, I see that you're just like me
A misfit runaway with gold plating underneath
We were never ordinary
All the weight we carry (all the weight we carry)
Will help us write our story
In the darkest night, you were born to shine
We were never ordinary (never ordinary)
All the weight we carry (all the weight we carry)
Will help us write our story
In the darkest night, you were born to shine
We were never ordinary
In the darkest night, you were born to shine
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, we were never ordinary)
