I used to shut my door while my mother screamed in the kitchen

我習慣掩上門，好阻隔母親的咆嘯

I'd turn the music up, get high and try not to listen

我把音樂調到最大聲，試著逃離不去聽

To every little fight, 'cause neither one was right

次次累積的小小爭執，沒有人獲得勝利

I swore I'd never be like them

我發誓，自己絕不成為那樣的大人

But I was just a kid back then

但那時的我，終究是個孩子

The older I get the more that I see

當我逐漸長大，才愈能看清一切

My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

父母並非超級英雄，而是和我一樣的凡人

And loving is hard, it don't always work

"愛”是這麼艱難，也不總是順遂

You just try your best not to get hurt

盡自己所能，為了不受傷害

I used to be mad but now I know

過去的我對此憤怒，但現在我明白

Sometimes it's better to let someone go

有時”放手”才是對彼此溫柔

It just hadn't hit me yet

只是當時的我還不知道

The older I get

直到我長大

I used to wonder why, why they could never be happy

我以前常思考著，為什麼他們總不快樂

I used to close my eyes and pray for a whole 'nother family

我閉上雙眼，祈禱上蒼帶我去一個新的家

Where everything was fine, one that felt like mine

那裡一切安好，一個屬於我的地方
