I will meet you at the Graveyard
– Ka tutaki ahau ki a koe i te Urupa
Where you lay down, where you stay now
– Kei hea koe e takoto ana, kei hea koe e noho ana inaianei
Faced up, cold heart, no longer by my side now
– He kanohi ki runga, he ngakau makariri, kāore i te taha o tōku taha ināianei
Wish we were together, now I don’t know when I will see you
– Ko te hiahia kia noho tahi tātou, ināianei kāore au i te mōhio ka kite au i a koe
I, I will meet you at the Graveyard
– Ka tutaki ahau ki a koe i te Urupa
Where you lay down, where you stay now
– Kei hea koe e takoto ana, kei hea koe e noho ana inaianei
Faced up, cold heart, no longer by my side now
– He kanohi ki runga, he ngakau makariri, kāore i te taha o tōku taha ināianei
Wish we were together, now I don’t know when I will see you
– Ko te hiahia kia noho tahi tātou, ināianei kāore au i te mōhio ka kite au i a koe
You were undecided
– Kāore koe i whakatau
Between life and past tense
– I waenganui i te ora me te wā o mua
You lost your battle, life was hell
– I ngaro koe i tō pakanga, ko te ora te reinga
But I was always beside, how can’t you tell?
– Engari i noho tonu ahau ki te taha, me pehea e kore ai e taea e koe te korero?
Oh, I thought we’d be together ’til life was over
– Aue, i whakaaro ahau ka noho tahi mātou ‘ kia mutu ra ano te ora
But you left too soon, now I’m no longer sober
– Engari i haere wawe rawa koe, ināianei kua kore au e haurangi
My rock, my friend, we always said
– Ko taku toka, ko taku hoa, i mea tonu mātou
We’d live this life until we made it to the end
– Ka ora tātou i tēnei oranga tae noa ki te mutunga
So why aren’t you right here, right next to me?
– Na he aha koe e kore e tika i konei, tika i muri ki ahau?
You took your life, like fuck, you left me bleeding
– I tangohia e koe tou ora, rite fuck, mahue koe ahau toto
I will meet you at the Graveyard
– Ka tutaki ahau ki a koe i te Urupa
Where you lay down, where you stay now
– Kei hea koe e takoto ana, kei hea koe e noho ana inaianei
Faced up, cold heart, no longer by my side now
– He kanohi ki runga, he ngakau makariri, kāore i te taha o tōku taha ināianei
Wish we were together, now I don’t know when I will see you
– Ko te hiahia kia noho tahi tātou, ināianei kāore au i te mōhio ka kite au i a koe
I, I will meet you at the Graveyard
– Ka tutaki ahau ki a koe i te Urupa
Where you lay down, where you stay now
– Kei hea koe e takoto ana, kei hea koe e noho ana inaianei
Faced up, cold heart, no longer by my side now
– He kanohi ki runga, he ngakau makariri, kāore i te taha o tōku taha ināianei
Wish we were together, now I don’t know when I will see you
– Ko te hiahia kia noho tahi tātou, ināianei kāore au i te mōhio ka kite au i a koe
It doesn’t make sense to me
– Kaore he tikanga ki ahau
You’re gone, no, I can’t believe
– Kua haere koe, kahore, e kore e taea e ahau te whakapono
They say you live inside me but to me, you’re still gone
– Ka mea ratou e noho ana koe i roto i ahau engari ki ahau, kua haere tonu koe
You see, this can’t be real life, you were only like 23
– E kite ana koe, kāore e taea te ora tūturu, he rite tonu koe ki te 23
I’m asking questions to my God like, “Will we ever meet again?”
– E ui ana ahau ki toku Atua, ” Ka tutaki ano tatou?”
Left me in pain, was all our plans in vain
– I waiho ahau i roto i te mamae, ko to tatou mahere katoa i roto i te kore
Our memories to make, I can see them slowly fading
– Ka taea e au te kite i a rātou e ngaro haere ana i roto i ā mātou maharatanga
You basically erased me
– I mukua ahau e koe
So how do you expect me to ever be happy?
– Na me pehea e tumanako ai koe kia hari ahau?
My rock, my friend, we always said
– Ko taku toka, ko taku hoa, i mea tonu mātou
We’d live this life, until we made it to the end
– Ka ora tātou i tēnei oranga, tae noa ki te mutunga
So why aren’t you right here, right next to me?
– Na he aha koe e kore e tika i konei, tika i muri ki ahau?
You took your life, like fuck, you left me bleeding
– I tangohia e koe tou ora, rite fuck, mahue koe ahau toto
I will meet you at the Graveyard
– Ka tutaki ahau ki a koe i te Urupa
Where you lay down, where you stay now
– Kei hea koe e takoto ana, kei hea koe e noho ana inaianei
Faced up, cold heart, no longer by my side now
– He kanohi ki runga, he ngakau makariri, kāore i te taha o tōku taha ināianei
Wish we were together, now I don’t know when I will see you
– Ko te hiahia kia noho tahi tātou, ināianei kāore au i te mōhio ka kite au i a koe
