Lyrics and translation

Original

Came here from a quiet place that left me in a fragile state
Could you make the sky look clear, make me feel like home is here
'Cause something's broken, but here's me hoping
That when I'm scared, you'll dim the horror
And when I laugh, make me laugh harder
So I'm ok with the way things are
And when I'm blue, you'll mix in red
Make me blush, hold me in bed
Make me forget about the way things are
Ah, ah, ah
I know it's hard in this city
Let's play pretend, will you do that with me?
Close my eyes, keep me distracted
Hold my hand, so I can stand it
'Cause something's broken, but here's me hoping
That when I'm scared, you'll dim the horror
And when I laugh, make me laugh harder
So I'm ok with the way things are
And when I'm blue, you'll mix in red
Make me blush, hold me in bed
Make me forget about the way things are
Ah, ah, ah
Something's broken
So here's me hoping
Something's broken
So here's me hoping
That when I'm scared, you'll dim the horror
And when I laugh, make me laugh harder
So I'm ok with the way things are
And when I'm blue, you'll mix in red
Make me blush, hold me in bed
Make me forget about the way things are
Ah, ah, ah
