Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
I’m tired of watching you from the windows
– Kua ngenge ahau ki te matakitaki i a koe mai i nga matapihi
You need to get closer but not too close
– Me koe ki te tiki tata engari e kore e rawa tata
Loving you is like chasing the rainbows
– Ko te aroha ki a koe he rite ki te whai i nga kopere
You look so beautiful but there’s nothing to do
– He tino ataahua koe engari kaore he mea hei mahi
I tried to scream but you couldn’t hear me
– I whakamatau ahau ki te hamama engari kaore koe i rongo i ahau
You look like a dream I wanna stop dreaming
– He rite koe ki te moemoea e hiahia ana ahau kia mutu taku moemoea
Cuz baby I’m bleeding
– E te tamaiti kei te toto ahau
I tried to wave but you couldn’t see me
– I whakamatau ahau ki te ngaru engari kaore koe i kite i ahau
There is nothing to save as long as you’re leaving
– Kaore he mea hei whakaora i te wa e wehe ana koe
Cuz baby I’m bleeding
– E te tamaiti kei te toto ahau
Give me a sign I don’t wanna lose my mind
– Homai he tohu ki ahau e kore ahau e hiahia ki te ngaro i toku hinengaro
Tell me the truth I can’t take another lie
– Korero mai ki ahau te pono e kore e taea e ahau te tango i tetahi atu teka
Stop telling me that it’s gonna be alright
– Kāti te kī mai ki ahau ka pai
Give me a sign I don’t wanna lose my mind
– Homai he tohu ki ahau e kore ahau e hiahia ki te ngaro i toku hinengaro
Look at the scars you left on my heart
– Titiro ki ngā tohu i mahue i a koe i runga i toku ngakau
I’ll never be the same I bet you know
– Kāore au e rite ki taku e mōhio nei
Can’t till Any more who you really are
– Kāore e taea te tae Atu Ki ētahi atu ko wai koe
Now that it’s all clear I don’t know you at all
– Na e te reira mārama katoa e kore ahau e mohio ki a koutou i te katoa
I tried to scream but you couldn’t hear me
– I whakamatau ahau ki te hamama engari kaore koe i rongo i ahau
You look like a dream I wanna stop dreaming
– He rite koe ki te moemoea e hiahia ana ahau kia mutu taku moemoea
Cuz baby I’m bleeding
– E te tamaiti kei te toto ahau
I tried to wave but you couldn’t see me
– I whakamatau ahau ki te ngaru engari kaore koe i kite i ahau
There is nothing to save as long as you’re leaving
– Kaore he mea hei whakaora i te wa e wehe ana koe
Cuz baby I’m bleeding
– E te tamaiti kei te toto ahau
Give me a sign I don’t wanna lose my mind
– Homai he tohu ki ahau e kore ahau e hiahia ki te ngaro i toku hinengaro
Tell me the truth I can’t take another lie
– Korero mai ki ahau te pono e kore e taea e ahau te tango i tetahi atu teka
Stop telling me that it’s gonna be alright
– Kāti te kī mai ki ahau ka pai
Give me a sign I don’t wanna lose my mind
– Homai he tohu ki ahau e kore ahau e hiahia ki te ngaro i toku hinengaro
