I’m the only girl alive in LA county
– Ndiyintombazana NJE kuphela ehlala KWELI lizwe
I’m the only one who sees (Ayy)
– I’m the one who sees (Aye Aye)
I wake up every day in some new kind of suffering
– Ndivuka mihla le ndihlutshwa yinto entsha
I’ve never known a day of peace
– Andikaze ndazi umhla woxolo
I wonder if I ever left behind my body (Ooh)
– I wonder if i’ve been away (Ooh)
Do you think they’d laugh at how I die?
– Ngaba ucinga ukuba bahleka indlela endifa ngayo?
Or take a photo of my family in the lobby
– Okanye thatha ifoto yosapho lwam kwilobby
The ceremony’s small inside
– Lo msitho mncinci ngaphakathi
‘Cause I don’t know if I could sell out my own funeral (Ah-ah)
– Kuba andazi ukuba ndingazithengisa na ngomngcwabo wam (Ah-ah-ah)
At least not at this point in time
– Ubuncinane akunjalo ngokwenene kule minithi
And if I ever try to leave behind my body
– Kwaye ukuba ndikhe ndizame ukushiya ngasemva umzimba wam
At least I know it was never mine, it was never mine
– Ubuncinane, ndiyazi ukuba wayengeyena owam, kodwa engeyena owam
It was never mine
– Zange yeyam
It was never mine
– Zange yeyam
Well I’m the only girl alive in New York City
– Ndiyintombazana nje ihlala Enew York
I left my wallet on the train
– Ndashiya isipaji sam kuloliwe
Since I no longer even have a driver’s license
– Kuba andisenalo nelayisensi yokuqhuba
I guess that means I have no name (This is Halsey St)
– Ndicinga ukuba oko kuthetha ukuba andinalo igama (eli Halsey St)
And I could run away to somewhere on the West Coast
– Kwaye ndingabalekela kwenye indawo Kunxweme Olusentshona
And finally be a real life girl
– Kwaye ekugqibeleni ube yintombazana yobomi bokwenyani
Go take my organs and they’ll hang me from a bedpost
– Hambani niye kuthabatha amalungu am baze bandixhome emgubasini
Sayin’ I was too soft for this world
– Ndithi ndalithambile eli hlabathi
And they’d be right, because quite frankly, to be alive
– Kwaye baya kuba kulungile, ngenxa yokuba ngokuphandle, ukuba baphile
It shouldn’t kill me every day, the way it does
– Ayindibulali yonke imihla, njengoko isenza
I don’t know what I did to have this fate I’m drenched in it
– Andazi ukuba ndenzeni ukuze uyifezekise loo nto i’m breathing in it
And I can’t even run from what I know
– Kwaye andinakubaleka kwinto endiyaziyo
My special talent isn’t writing, it’s not singing
– I talente yam ekhethekileyo ayibhaliwanga, ayiculi
It’s feeling everything that everyone alive feels every day
– Yonke imihla wonke umntu uziva ngathi usasebenzisa
Feels every day, feels every day, feels every day
– Uziva yonke imihla, uziva yonke imihla, uziva yonke imihla
I think I’m special ’cause I cut myself wide open
– Ndicinga ukuba ndikhethekile kuba ndizivule kakhulu
As if it’s honorable to bleed
– Kama kama kathalu kathalu
But I’m not lucky and I know I wasn’t chosen
– Kodwa andinguye lucky kwaye ndiyazi ukuba andikho elonyuliweyo
The world keeps spinnin’ without me
– Ihlabathi liyandijikeleza ngaphandle kwam
I told my mother I would die by twenty-seven
– Ndamxelela umama ukuba ndiza kufa ngamashumi amabini anesixhenxe
And in a way I sort of did
– Ngandlela thile ndenza
This thing I love has grown demanding and obsessive
– Le nto ndiyithandayo ikhule inzima kwaye inomdla
And it wants more than I can give, than I can give, than I can give
– Kwaye ufuna ngaphezulu kunokuba ndinokunika, kunokuba ndinokunika, kunokuba ndinokunika
Than I can give
– Kunokuba ndinokunika
Well I’m the only girl alive in LA County
– Ndiyintombazana NJE kuphela ehlala KWELI Lizwe
I’ve never known a day of peace
– Andikaze ndazi umhla woxolo
I wake up every day and wish that I was different
– Ndivuka yonke imihla kwaye ndinqwenela ukuba ndahlukile
I look around and it’s just me
– Ndijonge ngeenxa zonke kwaye ndim kuphela
It’s just me, it’s just me
– Kwakum – kokha
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
– Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh, ayy
– Ooh, aye
Wee-ooh, wee-ooh, yeah-yeah
– Wee-ooh, wee – ooh, yeah
Ah-ah-ah
– Ah-ah-ah-ah
I’m the only one, the only one, it’s me
– Ndim ndedwa, ndinguye
