Forgone, I see the child that she once was
– Kua whakarerea, ka kite ahau i te tamaiti i mua i a ia
Holding me tight like her teddy bear
– E mau ana i ahau kia rite ki tana teddy bear
I’m still a child in the same vein
– He tamaiti tonu ahau i roto i te uaua kotahi
And all I can do is remain
– A ko te mea anake ka taea e au ko te noho
Forgone, you’re the conclusion of everyone
– Kua whakarerea, ko koe te mutunga o te katoa
Let me down slowly and easy
– Tukua ahau ki raro āta me te ngāwari
There is a reason they leave me

And you are the one that remains

Oh, oh, oh, all along

Tucking me in
– Tucking ahau i roto i
A blanket of fog
– He pōtae o te pōhēhē
Through it all
– Na roto i te katoa
Through it all
– Na roto i te katoa
Tripping me up
– Te whakatika i ahau
And breaking the fall
– Me te whati i te hinga
Forgone, you’re the conclusion to everyone
– Kua whakarerea, ko koe te mutunga o te katoa
Holding the child that I once was
– Te pupuri i te tamaiti i ahau i mua
Calling us both by the same name
– Ka karanga mai ki a mātau e rua i runga i te ingoa kotahi
And all I can do is remain
– A ko te mea anake ka taea e au ko te noho
Through it all
– Na roto i te katoa

Oh, where is your spirit in them?

Where will it land in the end?
– Ka tau ki hea i te mutunga?
I can’t forgive how they hurt you
– Kāore e taea e au te muru i te kino o te mamae ki a koe
I wouldn’t hurt you again
– Kāore au e whara anō i a koe
Holding you tight like a bear
– Te pupuri i a koe kia rite ki te pea
But I was the only one there
– Engari ko au anake i reira
And I can’t return as the same
– A e kore e taea e ahau te hoki rite te taua
All I can do is re—
– Ko te mea anake ka taea e au ko te re—
You are the one that remains
