I Stand

When you ask me, who I am
누군가 내게 묻는다면, 내가 누구인지
What is my vision? And do I have a plan?
나의 이상은 뭔지, 나한테 계획은 있는지
Where is my strength? Have I nothing to say?
내 힘은 어디 있는지, 내게 할 말이 없는지
I hear the words in my head, but I push them away
머릿속에 이런 말들이 떠오르지만 난 밀어내 버려

'Cause I stand for the power to change,
왜냐면 난 변화할 힘을 위해 서있어
I live for the perfect day
난 완벽한 날을 위해 살아
I love till it hurts like crazy,
난 아파서 미칠 때까지 사랑을 해
I hope for a hero to save me
난 영웅이 날 구해주리라 희망해
I stand for the strange and lonely,
난 이상하고 외로운 것들을 위해 서있어
I believe there's a better place
난 더 좋은 곳이 있다고 믿어
I don't know if the sky is heaven,
난 하늘이 천국인지는 모르겠지만,
But I pray anyway
일단은 기도를 해봐

And I don't know
그리고 난 몰라
What tomorrow brings
내일이 무엇을 가져올지
The road less traveled
덜 지나간 길[2]
Will it set us free?
그것이 우릴 자유롭게 할까?
Cause we are taking it slow,
왜냐하면 우린 천천히 하고 있어
These tiny legacies
이 작은 유산들을
I don't try and change the world;
난 세상을 바꾸려고까지 하진 않아
But what will you make of me?
하지만 넌 나를 어떻게 생각할 거야?

'Cause I stand for the power to change,
왜냐면 난 변화할 힘을 위해 서있어
I live for the perfect day

But I pray anyway
일단은 기도를 해봐

With the slightest of breezes
조금의 바람만으로도
We fall just like leaves
우린 낙엽처럼 떨어져
As the rain washes us from the ground
비가 우리를 길에서 씻어내면서
We forget who we are
우린 우리가 누군지 잊어버려
We can't see in the dark
우린 어둠에 앞을 볼 수 없어
And we quickly get lost in the crowd
그리고 군중 속에 빠르게 길을 잃어버려

'Cause I stand for the power to change,
왜냐면(그럼에도) 난 변화할 힘을 위해 서있어
I live for the perfect day
난 완벽한 날을 위해 살아
I love till it hurts like crazy,
난 아파서 미칠 때까지 사랑을 해
I hope for a hero to save me
난 영웅이 날 구해주리라 희망해

Better to have loved, ooh
Better to have loved, ooh
Oh, oh

If the sun went down tomorrow and it never came back
And the city went quiet and we fade to black
Well I won't have a single regret
And I wouldn't trade a thing
'Cause I never knew I could feel what I
I feel inside of me

Better to have loved than never loved at all
Better to have dreamed than never taken the fall
Better to have held you and let you in
Than never to have touched your skin
Better to have hurt and screamed and cried
Fallen to the Earth for a trip to the sky
Better to have loved you
You, you, oh

I knew all the time I was taking a chance
When I stand there at the edge of a cliff and
No one was holding my hand
Well the wind blew strong and the clouds rolled in and I
I felt us lift off the ground
Yes I, I beared my soul and
I dared to go knowing one day you might let me down oh

Better to have loved than never loved at all
Better to have dreamed than never taken the fall
Better to have held you and let you in
Than never to have touched your skin
Better to have hurt and screamed and cried
Fallen to the Earth for a trip to the sky
Better to have loved you

I gave you everything
But you have said goodbye
Oh said goodbye (ooh)

Better to have loved than never loved at all
Better to have dreamed than never taken the fall
Better to have held you and let you in
Than never to have touched your skin
Better to have hurt and screamed and cried
Fallen to the Earth for a trip to the sky
Better to have loved (better to have loved)
Better to have loved (better to have loved)
You

Ooh, ooh

I don't know just where I'm going
And tomorrow it's a little overwhelming
And the air is cold and I'm not the same anymore
I've been running in your direction for too long now
I've lost my own reflection
And I can't look down if you're not there to catch me when I fall

If this is the moment I stand here on my own
If this is my rite of passage that somehow leads me home
I might be afraid but it's my turn to be brave
If this is the last chance before we say goodbye
At least it's the first day of the rest of my life
I can't be afraid 'cause it's my turn to be brave
All along all I ever wanted
Was to be the light when your life was daunting
But I can't see mine when I feel as though you're pushing me away
Well, who's to blame?
Are we making the right choices?
'Cause we can't be sure if we're hearing our own voices
As we close the door even though we are so desperate to stay

If this is the moment I stand here on my own
If this is my rite of passage that somehow leads me home
I might be afraid but it's my turn to be brave
If this is the last chance before we say goodbye
At least it's the first day of the rest of my life
I can't be afraid 'cause it's my turn to be brave

And I might still cry
And I might still bleed
These thorns in my side
This heart on my sleeve
And lightning may strike this ground at my feet
And I might still crash
But I still believe

This is the moment I stand here all alone
With everything I have inside everything I own
I might be afraid but it's my turn to be brave

If this is the last time before we say goodbye
At least it's the first day of the rest of my life
I can't be afraid 'cause it's my turn to be brave

In a perfect world, in another time
In a far off place we wouldn't need to justify
Everything we are
And all that we believe
We could finally be
Whoever we both want to be

And when we can't be heard
And when we can't be seen
I will call you close and
You will reach for me

When all of the beauty turns to pain
When all of the madness falls like rain
As long as we crash and we collide
We will be gorgeous, you and I

Through the window pane
Through the bedroom door
This city wants to fight
But it can't touch us anymore
We have come so far
We have shed our skin
The more that's taken from us now
The more we have to give

And when we can't be heard
And when we can't be seen
I will call you close and
You will reach for me

When all of the beauty turns to pain
When all of the madness falls like rain
As long as we crash and we collide
We will be gorgeous, you and I

And when we are drowning in the noise
I'm gonna stop to find your voice
As long as we crash and we collide
We will be gorgeous, you and I

In the perfect time
(We'll be gorgeous)

And when we lose our faith
In all that's beautiful
You lift me to this place

When all of the beauty turns to pain
When all of the madness falls like rain
As long as we crash and we collide
We will be gorgeous, gorgeous, yeah

And when we are drowning in the noise
I'm gonna stop to find your voice
As long as we crash and we collide
We will be gorgeous, we will be gorgeous
(You and I)

And when I lose my faith
I don't know what to do
You lift me to a place
And make me feel so beautiful
As long as you're right here by my side
We will be gorgeous, you and I

Where do I begin my love?
Starting with the things I haven't said enough of
Starting with the day you changed my life
And ending with the way I feel tonight
Where do I begin?

Where do I belong if you're not here?
'Cause this is way beyond my darkest fear
I don't know where I end or where I start
The trail in between is way too far
Where do I begin?

I have always counted all my blessings
Knowing you'll defend me and stand by my side
If only I didn't lose my senses each time
I intended these words to come out right
Where do I begin my love?

Maybe with the morning you brought me the sun
Maybe with the stars from out of space
You took a few and lit up my face
Where do I begin?

I've always counted all my blessings
Knowing you'll defend me, stand by my side
If only I didn't lose my senses each time
I intended these words to come out right

Where do I begin my love?
I always read the last page instead of the first one
There's no need to rush it all in
I love you and I'll say it again
Where do I begin?
Where do I begin?
And where should we begin?

Where do you go?
When you're alone and in your head
Why do they know you?
Is your story painted in red?
What do you see?
What do you dream when you're awake?
What have they seen of you?
Are you afraid of what's been said?

And if time stood still
If you won't be your witness
No one ever will

I hear a voice that's in my head
Don't let me down
'Cause I can't hold the future in my head
So many things I should have said
Don't let me down
'Cause I would be a lucky girl if time stood on it's head
Don't let me down

Don't let me down
Don't let them see
These shadows fallen over me
Where do you go?
When you're awake and in your head?
Why do they know you?
Is your story painted in red?

And if time stood still
If I can't be my teacher
No one ever will

I hear a voice that's in my head
Don't let me down
'Cause I can't hold the future in my head
So many things I should have said
That let me let me down

And I can't choose the road ahead
Close my eyes and hold my breath
Hope my little debt won't let me down
And I can't choose the road ahead
And close my eyes and hold my breath
Hope my little death won't let me down

And if time stood still
If I can't be my teacher
No one ever will

I hear a voice that's in my head
Don't let me down
'Cause I can't hold the future in my head
So many things I should have said
That let me let me down

I hear a voice that's in my head
Don't let me down
'Cause I can't hold the future in my head
So many things I should have said
That let me let me down

'Cause I would be a lucky girl if time stood on it's head
Don't let me down

Like a prima ballerina
I tiptoe, tiptoe around you constantly
I hear the water running
Will it wash your tears or leak through the ceiling?

Make my way up a spiral staircase
Hope to God you had a good day

When you're furious
When you start to freeze
When you can't be touched
I feel everything
And when you despair
When you cannot breathe
When you wouldn't dare
I feel everything
When you're in ecstasy
But you're not with me
I feel everything

On a tightrope, on a wire
I'll attempt to jump through your ring of fire
I'm waiting all the while
For a glimpse of something to bring us higher

One little foot in front of the other
Don't you know I'm afraid of thunder?

When you're furious
When you start to freeze
When you can't be touched
I feel everything
And when you despair
When you cannot breathe
When you wouldn't dare
I feel everything
When you're in ecstasy
But you're not with me
I feel everything, oh

There's a fine line between (there's a fine line)
Love and hurting (between love and hurting)
And knowing just when to walk away (when, when to walk away)

Like a prima ballerina
I will tiptoe, tiptoe around you constantly

When you're furious
When you start to freeze
When you can't be touched
I feel everything
And when you despair
When you cannot breathe
When you wouldn't dare
I feel everything

When you're in ecstasy
But you're not with me
When you can't be touched
When you can't be loved
When you fall apart
When you have no heart
I feel everything

We thought it had it all
We thought we'd go unscathed
We thought our love would border on infinity
We thought that we were free
The world would disappear
We left ourselves wide open and we had no fear

But forever came and went
Forever stumbled through
Forever had poor sense of time and made a mess of me and you
Forever had us fooled
We fell for it again
Now time is standing still forever

Lying next to you
But you're already gone
Too much has been said and it can't be undone
It's so hard to comprehend
When ashes fade to dust
A touch of water and the iron turns to dust

So forever came and went
Forever stumbled through
Forever had poor sense of time and made a mess of me and you
Forever had us fooled
We fell for it again
Now time is standing still forever came and went

We thought it had it all
We thought we'd go unscathed
We thought our love would border on infinity
Forever was a shame
Stole a little piece of us
To live up to it's name was just really too

Forever came and went
Forever stumbled through
Forever had poor sense of time and made a mess of me and you
Forever came and went
Forever stumbled through
Forever had poor sense of time and made a mess of me and you
Forever had us fooled
We fell for it again
Now time is standing still forever came and went
Oh I thought we had it all
Oh oh oh I thought we had it all, every day until the end
You & me, oh

In the roses
In the spring
I remember
There was a time
I wasn't afraid of anything
But with the lilacs
And the rain
One day you went away
I remember
I forgot everything

My mother's always trying to tell me
How to be grateful how to believe
My father's always trying to say
Baby you're beautiful in every way
My lover's always got me in his arms
Trying to protect me keep me from harm
So why do I always have to be
My worst my own worst enemy

In the shadows in the grays
In the lonely
There is a place
Where we can all hide away
But in the windows of the soul
There is nowhere we can go
If we keep running
Running from our destiny

My mother's always trying to tell me
How to be grateful how to believe
My father's always trying to say
Baby you're beautiful in every way
My lover's always got me in his arms
Trying to protect me keep me from harm
So why do I always have to be
My worst my own worst enemy

You say I walk on water
You say I walk on the moon
But it's never enough
(No it's never enough no it's never enough)
You say I'm only human
It's all in my head
But it's never enough
(No it's never enough no it's never enough)
One day I'll find
My alibi...

My mother's always trying to tell me
How to be grateful how to believe
My father's always trying to say
Baby you're beautiful in every way
My lover's always got me in his arms
Trying to protect me keep me from harm
So why do I always have to be
My worst my own worst enemy

A crack in the smile
But she's always in style while she waits
Waving goodbye but she's too tired to cry and she's wasted
A letter he wrote
But it's far too expose so he throws it away
The sound of regret as it's counting the steps back to safe

I don't want to leave you with perfume and promises
But we'll never know 'till we capture and bottle it
'Cause wouldn't it be such a shame
If all was wasted

Not an inch of the room
That isn't in bloom or in light
So we drink 'till its dawn
Every drip 'till it's gone and we're wasted
It's a thing of the truth
But we'll lie and we'll look for the perfect escape
And the moment will go like melted snow in the rain

I don't want to leave you with perfume and promises
But we'll never know 'till we capture and bottle it
'Cause wouldn't it be such a shame
If all was wasted

Stay for another morning
Study the curves on my face
Stay even when we're unknowing
Stay 'till they tear you away

I don't want to leave you with perfume and promises
But we'll never know 'till we capture and bottle it
'Cause wouldn't it be such a shame
If all was wasted
