Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
I’m going under and this time I fear there’s no one to save me
– Ka haere ahau ki raro, ā, i tēnei wā e wehi ana ahau kāore he tangata hei whakaora i ahau
This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy
– Tenei katoa ranei kahore tino ka he ara o te peia ahau haurangi
I need somebody to heal, somebody to know
– E hiahia ana ahau ki tētahi hei whakaora, ki tētahi hei mōhio
Somebody to have, somebody to hold
– Tetahi ki te whai, tetahi ki te pupuri
It’s easy to say, but it’s never the same
– He ngāwari ki te mea, engari e kore te reira i te taua
I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain
– Ki taku whakaaro i pai ahau ki te āhua o te whakaiti i te mamae katoa
Now the day bleeds into nightfall
– Na ka toto te ra ki te pouri
And you’re not here to get me through it all
– A e kore koe i konei ki te tiki i ahau i roto i te reira katoa
I let my guard down, and then you pulled the rug
– I tukua e ahau taku tiaki ki raro, kātahi ka tangohia e koe te kāpeti
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
– I whakamahia ahau hei tangata i arohaina e koe
I’m going under and this time I fear there’s no one to turn to
– Ka haere ahau ki raro, ā, i tēnei wā e wehi ana ahau kāore he tangata hei tahuri atu
This all or nothing way of loving got me sleeping without you
– Ko tenei ara katoa kahore ranei o te aroha i moe ai ahau i waho i a koe
Now, I need somebody to know, somebody to heal
– Na, e hiahia ana ahau ki tētahi kia mōhio, ki tētahi kia ora
Somebody to have, just to know how it feels
– Te tangata ki te whai, tika ki te mohio ki te āhua o te reira
It’s easy to say, but it’s never the same
– He ngāwari ki te mea, engari e kore te reira i te taua
I guess I kinda liked the way you helped me escape
– Ki taku whakaaro i pai ahau ki te huarahi i āwhina ai koe i ahau ki te mawhiti
Now the day bleeds into nightfall
– Na ka toto te ra ki te pouri
And you’re not here to get me through it all
– A e kore koe i konei ki te tiki i ahau i roto i te reira katoa
I let my guard down, and then you pulled the rug
– I tukua e ahau taku tiaki ki raro, kātahi ka tangohia e koe te kāpeti
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
– I whakamahia ahau hei tangata i arohaina e koe
And I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes
– A ka kati aku kanohi ina mamae i ētahi wā
I fall into your arms
– Ka hinga ahau ki o ringaringa
I’ll be safe in your sound ’til I come back around
– Ka noho haumaru ahau i roto i tō oro ‘ til i come back around
For now the day bleeds into nightfall
– I tēnei wā ka toto te rā ki te pō
And you’re not here to get me through it all
– A e kore koe i konei ki te tiki i ahau i roto i te reira katoa
I let my guard down, and then you pulled the rug
– I tukua e ahau taku tiaki ki raro, kātahi ka tangohia e koe te kāpeti
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
– I whakamahia ahau hei tangata i arohaina e koe
But now the day bleeds into nightfall
– Engari inaianei ka toto te ra ki te pō
And you’re not here to get me through it all
– A e kore koe i konei ki te tiki i ahau i roto i te reira katoa
I let my guard down, and then you pulled the rug
– I tukua e ahau taku tiaki ki raro, kātahi ka tangohia e koe te kāpeti
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
– I whakamahia ahau hei tangata i arohaina e koe
I let my guard down, and then you pulled the rug
– I tukua e ahau taku tiaki ki raro, kātahi ka tangohia e koe te kāpeti
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
– I whakamahia ahau hei tangata i arohaina e koe
