1.Wait

等待

2.Hope (Part 1)

希望（第一部分）

I can』t tell you how many times we』ve failed

But it feels like our chance has passed us by

You would think that we』d start to get used to it

But each month another part of hope dies 我无法告诉你我们失败了多少次

但这就像我们的机会已经错过了

你会认为我们开始习惯它

但每一个月希望的一部分就会死亡

So what are we going to do? We never planned this life for you and me What if we』re wrong? I don』t know how long we can just wait and see

所以我们该怎么办？

我们从未为你和我计划如此生活

如果我们错了怎么办？

我不知道我们能只是等和看多久

But I』m holding on to hope that something can change I can』t let you go 但我抱著希望，一些事情可以改变

我不能让你走

And nobody talks about it We just pretend it doesn』t hurt

We hide it away somewhere

And carry alone the way we』ve learned 没有人谈论它

我们只是假装没有受伤

我们把它隐藏在某个地方

并沿著我们学到的道路前进

But I』m holding on to hope that something can change I can』t let you go I』m losing my mind, I』m losing my faith I can』t, I can』t let you go

但我抱著希望，一些事情可以改变

我不能让你走

我失去了理智，我失去了信仰

我不能，我不能让你走

But I』m holding on to hope that something can change I can』t let you go I』m losing my faith, I』m losing my mind I can』t, I can』t let you go

但我抱著希望，一些事情可以改变

我不能让你走

我失去了信仰，我失去了理智

我不能，我不能让你走

3.Fading

衰退

4.Close the Door

关上门

I can』t believe we lost you

I can』t believe you』re gone What do we do now? I was ready to be a father 我不敢相信我们失去了你

我不敢相信你走了

我们现在做什么呢？

我曾准备成为一个父亲

So we drive home

We drive home And close the door 所以我们开车回家

我们开车回家

然后关上门

I have to keep us together But I』ve got nothing left We just sit in silence I can』t talk about it

我必须让我们在一起

但我什么也没留下

我们只是默默地坐著

我不能谈论它

But we hold on We hold on And close the door 但我们坚持下去

我们坚持下去

然后关上门

I lie awake in silence when I should be

Hearing you breathe I fall asleep just long enough to dream of How it would feel to hold you 我应该在沉默中保持清醒

听到了你的呼吸

我睡了足够长的时间

足够去梦见抱著你的感觉

So we let go We just let go

And close the door

所以我们放手吧

我们只是放手吧

然后关上门

5.The Death of a Dream

梦想的死亡

6.Wait (Reprise)

等待（重奏）

Though we』re broken there must be someone for us to love

So many lost and lonely, please keep them safe till then

虽然我们已经破碎，但一定有个人让我们去爱

如此多的失落和孤独，请直到那时保护他们的安全

7.Escape

逃避

When those memories drag me in

I give up trying, numb within 当这些回忆把我拖入困境

我放弃尝试，内心麻木

I see the disappointment in your eyes All that I could do was wait for you to tell me What I had to do to make it right I never meant to hurt you 我看到你眼中的失望

我能做的就是等你告诉我

我们必须做些什么来让它正确

我从未想过要伤害你

Searching for a trace of empathy

I can』t face the fear I』ll never feel your comfort

Acknowledgment, support, or sympathy

I』m such a disappointment

寻找一丝同情心

我无法面对恐惧，我永远不会感受你的安慰

感谢，支持，或者同情

我非常失望

So I』ll run to the place it doesn』t hurt

I』ll find a way to bury all the voices saying

You』ll never prove, you』ll never prove you』re worth

The love that you expected

所以我会跑到没有伤害的地方

我会发现一种方法来掩埋所有声音

你永远不会证明，你永远不会证明你是值得的

那个你所期待的爱

I』d hide in here forever if I could

Each time it takes a little more to fend the fear

I feel alone, I feel misunderstood

Tell me when it』s over

如果可以的话，我会永远藏在这里

每一次需要多一点力量来抵御恐惧

我感到孤独，我感到被误解了

告诉我什么时候结束

I cannot face myself

Can I escape me?

I can』t erase this weight

Can I escape?

我无法面对自己

我可以逃避自己吗？

我无法抹去这份沉重

我能逃避吗？

The room was quiet

Their voices silent

My heart was pounding

I can』t imagine

How I let this happen

Mother

房间很安静

他们的声音沉默

我的心在怦怦直跳

我无法想像

我怎么让这件事发生

妈妈

Can I be the mother that he needs?

Can I crawl back up? Oh help me please

Can I feel and give and love and stay?

I』m afraid this fear won』t fall away

我可以成为他需要的母亲吗？

我可以爬回来吗？哦请帮帮我

我可以给俺瘦，给予，爱和留下来吗？

我担心这种恐惧不会消失

The fear is rising

How long can I fend it off?

How long can I hold on?

I』m scared I』ll let him down

恐惧正在上升

我可以抵御它多久？

我可以坚持多久i？

我很害怕我会让他失望

This room is quiet

My voice is silent

My heart is pounding

This room is quiet

My voice is silent

My heart is pounding

房间很安静

我的声音是沉默的

我的心在怦怦直跳

房间很安静

我的声音是沉默的

我的心在怦怦直跳

I cannot face myself

Can I escape me?

I can』t erase this weight

Can I escape?

我无法面对自己

我可以逃避自己吗？

我无法抹去这份沉重

我能逃避吗？

8.Dont Give up on Me

不要放弃我

Why is everybody giving up on each other?

Don』t give up on me

Not even trying to love one another

Don』t give up on me

为什么每个人都相互放弃？

不要放弃我

甚至没有试著去彼此相爱

不要放弃我

Why is everybody giving up on each other?

Don』t give up on me

Not even trying to love one another

Don』t give up on me

为什么每个人都相互放弃

不要放弃我

甚至没有试著去彼此相爱

不要放弃我

I』m asking if you can take me the way I am

Though I』m lacking virtue

Forgive me what I say, forgive me what I do

Cause I don』t want to hurt you

我问你能不能接受真实的我

虽然我缺乏优点

原谅我说过的，原谅我做过的

因为我不想伤害你

I want to stay with you forever

Don』t give up on me

No way to face the world but together

Don』t give up on me

我想永远和你在一起

不要放弃我

没有办法面对世界，但在一起

不要放弃我

We love ourselves but not one another

Don』t give up on me

You never know what you might discover

If you don』t give up on me

我们爱著自己，但不爱彼此

不要放弃我

你永远不知道你会发现什么

如果你不放弃我

Don』t give up and let me go

I』m hanging on to when you said

You』d love me without condition

Don』t give up and let me go

Believe me when I say that I

Still love you without condition

不要放弃，让我走吧

当你诉说时我还在坚持

你无条件地爱我

不要放弃，让我走吧

当我说出来时，请相信我

仍然无条件地爱你

9.The Light

光芒

Hide my face again behind these guilty hands

Shy away from your touch

Time won』t take away this wanting in my heart

But sometimes I believe as much

在这双内疚的手后再次隐藏我的脸

回避你的触摸

时间表会夺走我心中的这种欲望

但有时我也会尽可能相信

Oh what I』d give to cloud these vivid memories

But I don』t think I can

Cause I』m afraid of what you』d think if you could see

Where I』ve been

哦，我给云彩这些生动的回忆

但我不认为我可以

因为我害怕你看到之后会怎么想

我曾去过哪里

You can』t hide alone inside your bitter heart

You can』t stay inside

Fall into the light

你无法独自隐藏在你痛苦的心中

你不能留在里面

陷入光芒

10.Take Me Away

带我走

When I wake up and the house is cold, I lie still

And I listen for the sound of you breathing

Maybe this will be the day you don』t wake up

I shouldn』t have to be the one who finds you there

当我醒来，房子很冷，我依然躺著

我听到你呼吸的声音

也许这将是你无法醒来的一天

我不应该是在那里找到你的人

And it』s always been this way

Maybe today will be the day they take me away

Today they take me away

以及总是如此

也许今天会是他们把我带走的日子及

今天他们把我带走

You used to look me in the eyes, and I felt love

I can tell you』ve given up, and I』m so scared

Wasn』t supposed to be this way

Nothing I can do to change

你常常看著我的眼睛，我感受到了爱

我可以告诉你你已经放弃了，我感到如此害怕

不应该是这样的

我没有能力改变

And it』s always been this way

Maybe today will be the day they take me away

Today they take me away

以及总是如此

也许今天会是他们把我带走的日子及

今天他们把我带走

A knock on the door it』s all suddenly over

And the screams and the broken things echo to peace

I want to believe in a place where I』m safe and loved and taken care of

But what am I trading for?

敲门声响起，一切突然结束

尖叫和破碎的回声呼叫和平

我想要去相信一个让我安全、被爱和被照顾的地方

但我在用什么交换？

I』ll take your hand if you ask me to

There has got to be better than this

But can I believe when you say you will

I need something that』s better than this

如果你问我，我会牵著你的手

那里必须要比这里好

但当你说愿意时，我可以相信吗

我需要一些比这个更好的东西

11.Find Myself Today

今天发现自己

I want to go I want to run

I want to find myself today

I』ll never know what』s to become

If I just hide myself away

我想离开，我想奔跑

我今天想要找到我自己

我永远不知道会变成什么样

如果我只是隐藏我自己

Today I wake up, look around, and see that everything has changed

I can』t believe I left it there but hesitation still remains

And after all the cruel and ugly things I never should have seen

Is there a way to shed this skin and start again with something clean?

今天我醒来，环顾四周，看到一切都变了

我不敢相信把它留在那里，但犹豫依然存在

在经历这些我从未见过的残酷和丑陋之后

有没有办法去摆脱这外衣，并且重新干净地开始？

It』s hard to find a way to trust when I have all this doubt

Past promises and broken dreams it』s hard for me to figure out

But it isn』t fair if I don』t give them a chance to try

Maybe this is what I need to finally tell the past goodbye

当我怀疑一切时，很难找到信任的方式

过去的承诺和破碎的梦想让我很难去弄明白

但这不公平，如果我不给它们机会去尝试

也许这就是我需要的，最终去和过去说再见

I want to go I want to run

I want to find myself today

I』ll never know what』s to become

If I just hide myself away

我想离开，我想奔跑

我今天想要找到我自己

我永远不知道会变成什么样

如果我只是隐藏我自己

I』m looking back on all the choices

that I never got to make

I want to go I want to run

I want to find myself today

我正在回顾所有的选择

那些我从未做过的

我想要离开，我想要奔跑

我今天想要找到我自己

I』ve got to go I』ve got to run

I』ve got to find myself today

I』ll never know what』s to become

If I just hide myself away.

我必须离开，我必须奔跑

我今天必须要找到我自己

我永远不知道会变成什么样

如果我只是隐藏我自己

I』m looking forward to a choice

That I finally get to make

It』s time to go I want to run

I want to find myself today

我期待著做一个选择

我终于做到了

是时候走了，我想要奔跑

我今天想要找到我自己

So many times I have tried to face this world alone

But that』s behind me

I』m looking forward to a future that』s brighter than I』ve known

With you beside me

很多次我试图独自面对这个世界

但它在我身后

我期待著一个比我所知道的更光明的未来

而你在我身边

Will you stand beside me?

And if I fail you, will you push me away?

Would you stand beside me, stand beside me?

你会站在我身边吗？

如果我让你失望了，你会把我推开吗？

你会站在我身边，站在我身边吗？

Would you walk away, walk away, or stand beside me?

你能像对待你自己一样来真的爱我吗？

你能对我敞开心扉还是否认我？

Would you walk away, would you walk away or would you stand beside me?

你能像对待你自己一样来真的爱我吗？

你能对我敞开心扉还是否认我？

如果我没能实现你一直都知道的我的梦想

Just stand beside me, stand beside me, stand beside me
