Kupu Tūpato
I think that’s what life is about
– Ki taku whakaaro koinei te mea e pā ana ki te ora
Truly findin’ yourself
– Ka kitea e koe
And then closin’ your eyes and dyin’ in your sleep
– Na ka kati o koutou kanohi, ka mate i roto i to koutou moe
I wanna say goodbye
– E hiahia ana ahau ki te poroporoaki
But I can’t find a way to make it out alive
– Engari kaore e kitea e au he huarahi hei whakaora i a ia
You know that I’ve tried
– Kei te mohio koe kua whakamatauria e au
But I can’t find a way to make it out alive
– Engari kaore e kitea e au he huarahi hei whakaora i a ia
So goodbye
– Na kia ora
So goodbye, uh
– Kia ora, uh
So goodbye
– Na kia ora
It’s time to get high again
– Kua tae ki te wā kia eke anō ki runga
At the time, time with you was time well spent
– I taua wā, ko te wā ki a koe he wā pai i pau
On my mind, and I can’t get you out, I swear
– I runga i toku hinengaro, a e kore e taea e ahau te tiki i a koutou i roto i, oati ahau
When you died, I think ’bout the time we shared
– A, no te mate koe, whakaaro ahau ‘ e pā ana ki te wa faaite tatou
And I can’t help but cry
– A kaore e taea e au te awhina engari ka tangi
I swear I’ve asked God why
– E oati ana ahau kua ui Ahau Ki Te Atua he aha
So many goddamn times
– He maha nga wa o te atua
Nothing can help, not time
– Kaore he mea e taea te awhina, kaore i te wa
None of the cars I buy
– Kāore he waka e hokona ana e au
I’m tryna fix what’s inside
– Ko tryna ahau whakatika he aha kei roto
But my regrets haunt me every night
– Engari ko aku pouri e whai ana i ahau i nga po katoa
And now I wanna say goodbye
– Na inaianei e hiahia ana ahau ki te poroporoaki
But I can’t find a way to make it out alive
– Engari kaore e kitea e au he huarahi hei whakaora i a ia
You know that I’ve tried
– Kei te mohio koe kua whakamatauria e au
But I can’t find a way to make it out alive
– Engari kaore e kitea e au he huarahi hei whakaora i a ia
So goodbye
– Na kia ora
So goodbye
– Na kia ora
