Lyrics and translation

Original

Hey

What if we could go back?

We could take the words back

You could take my love back

And brush my hair behind my ear

I don't know what you wanted

I tried to be so perfect

I thought that it was worth it

To let myself just disappear

You come to me in dreams at night

(You come to me in dreams at night)

I wake up and I see the light

Sometimes I wish that I could change

But not for me, for you

So we could be together forever

But I know, I know that I won't change for you

'Cause where were you for me

When I needed someone?

When I needed someone

When I needed you, hey

When I needed you, hey

Once upon a time, I thought you were the hero

I waited for you all night

I closed my eyes and slept for years

You kissed me like a sunrise

My feet up to my forehead

I felt it like a goodbye

I'm not myself

Sometimes I wish that I could change

But not for me, for you

So we could be together forever

But I know, I know that I won't change for you

'Cause where were you for me

When I needed someone?

When I needed someone

When I needed you, hey

When I needed you, hey

You come to me in dreams at night

You come to me in dreams at night

I don't want to work it out

I'm not going to work it out

I don't want to work it out

No, I'm not going to, still

Sometimes I wish that I could change

But not for me, for you

So we could be together forever

But I know, I know that I won't change for you

'Cause where were you for me

When I needed someone?

When I needed someone

When I needed, hey

When I needed, hey

When I needed you, hey

When I needed you, hey

When I needed you, hey
