I ran an endless race
To leave the land I know
Sometimes I feel so restless
Some things I'll never show
But you held my hand
Through the wind, our cold
And if there's a fight, you said
I won't face it alone
And undone is what I am
You won't ever see me through
But as I stand tall with you, I know
That I'll be whole again
You'll make me whole again
You carried all my fears
You let my demons play
And constant lights are cast upon
Our path to better days
So in sickness and thunder
You'll stay by my side
And if our bones must shudder
We'll find peace of mind
On trouvera la paix de l'esprit
And undone is what I am
Et déchiré, c'est ce que je suis
You won't ever see me through
Tu ne me verras jamais vraiment
But as I stand tall with you, I know
Mais alors que je me tiens fier avec toi, je sais
That I'll be whole again
Que je serai de nouveau entier
You'll make me whole
Tu me rendras entier
And I tried and I tried to rest our fears where we lay
Et j'ai essayé, j'ai essayé de apaiser nos peurs là où nous sommes allongés
But the lights and the fights we hold they could leave us astray
Mais les lumières et les combats que nous avons pourraient nous égarer
And just try to leave me love me love me as I am
Et essaie juste de m'aimer, m'aimer tel que je suis
But we try can we not do this in vain
Mais on essaie, ne pouvons-nous pas faire cela en vain ?
And undone is what I am
You won't ever see me through
But as I stand tall with you, I know
That I'll be whole again
And undone is what I am
You won't ever see me through
But as I stand tall with you, I know
That I'll be whole again
You'll make me whole again
You'll make me whole again
