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
