Lyrics and translation

Original

As we go through trying times.

You know I'm shredded by the time I'm home.

Like polystyrene foam.

And the jealous end up alone.

'Cause there are things that they can never know.

I'm an eyesore, you're a sight for sore eyes.

You're the life force, you're the life force

I would die for.

I would die for.

Stay alive for.

As we go through trying times.

As we go, as we go, as we go through trying times.

I'm breaking, I hide it well.

'Cause I can't afford to replace the shell.

And the anxious end up alone.

'Cause there are far too many things we can't control.

I'm an eyesore, you're a sight for sore eyes.

You're the life force, you're the life force

I would die for.

I would die for.

Be terrified for.

Simplify for, mm.

And stay alive for.

As we go through trying times.

As we go, as we go, as we go through trying times.

Trying, trying, trying.

Trying, trying, trying.

As we go, as we go.

Oh, trying
