I knew a boy once, when I was small
A tow-head blonde, with eyes of salt
He played the drum in the marching band
His parents cared more about the Bible
Than being good to their own child
He wore long sleeves 'cause of his dad
And somehow, we fell out of touch
Hope he took his bad deal and made a royal flush
Don't know if I'll see you again someday
But if you're out there, I hope that you're okay
My middle school friend grew up alone
She raised her brothers on her own
Her parents hated who she loved
She couldn't wait to go to college
She was tired 'cause she was brought
Into a world where family was merely blood
Does she know how proud I am she was created
With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred
We don't talk much but I just gotta say
"I miss you, and I hope that you're okay"
Address the letters, to the holes in my butterfly wings
Nothing's forever, nothing is as good as it seems
And when the clouds are ironed out
And the monsters creep into your house
And every door is hard to close
Well, I hope you know how proud I am you were created
With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred
God, I hope that you're happier today
'Cause I love you, and I hope that you're okay
I knew a boy once, when I was small

Als gut zu ihrem eigenen Kind zu sein

Er trug lange Ärmel, wegen seines Vaters
And somehow, we fell out of touch
Und irgendwie haben wir uns aus den Augen verloren
Hope he took his bad deal and made a royal flush
Ich hoffe, er machte aus seinem schlechten Deal einen Royal Flush
Don't know if I'll see you again someday
Ich weiß nicht, ob ich dich eines Tages wiedersehe
But if you're out there, I hope that you're okay
Aber wenn du da draußen bist, hoffe ich, dass es dir gut geht
My middle school friend grew up alone
Meine Freundin aus der Mittelstufe wuchs allein auf
She raised her brothers on her own
Sie zog ihre Brüder allein auf
Her parents hated who she loved
Ihre Eltern hassten, wen sie liebte
She couldn't wait to go to college
Sie konnte es nicht erwarten, aufs College zu gehen
She was tired 'cause she was brought
Sie war müde, weil sie in eine Welt gebracht wurde
Into a world where family was merely blood
In eine Welt, in der Familie nur dasselbe Blut hatte
Does she know how proud I am she was created
Weiß sie, wie stolz ich bin, dass sie geschaffen wurde
With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred
Mit dem Mut, all ihren Hass zu verlernen
We don't talk much but I just gotta say
Wir reden nicht viel, aber ich muss einfach sagen
"I miss you, and I hope that you're okay"
„Ich vermisse dich, und ich hoffe, dass es dir gut geht“
Address the letters, to the holes in my butterfly wings
Packe die Briefe, an die Löcher in meinen Schmetterlingsflügeln

Nichts ist für immer, nichts ist so gut, wie es scheint
And when the clouds are ironed out
Und wenn die Wolken ausgebügelt sind
And the monsters creep into your house
Und die Monster in dein Haus kriechen
And every door is hard to close
Und jede Tür schwer zu schließen ist
Well, I hope you know how proud I am you were created
Nun, ich hoffe, du weißt, wie stolz ich bin, dass du geschaffen wurdest
With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred
Mit dem Mut, all ihren Hass zu verlernen
God, I hope that you're happier today
Gott, ich hoffe, dass du heute glücklicher bist
'Cause I love you, and I hope that you're okay

E os monstros invadirem sua casa
And every door is hard to close
E toda porta estiver difícil de fechar
Well, I hope you know how proud I am you were created
Bem, eu espero que você saiba o quão orgulhoso eu sou que voce foi criada
With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred
Com a coragem de desaprender todo o ódio deles?

[Zwrotka 1]
Znałam chłopca gdy byłam mała
Jasnego blondyna ze słonymi oczami
Grał na bębnie w orkiestrze marszowej
Jego rodzicom bardziej zależało na Biblii
Niż na byciu dobrymi dla własnego dziecka
Nosił długie rękawy przez swojego ojca
I jakoś straciliśmy kontakt
Mam nadzieję, że zamienił zły los na królewskiego pokera
Nie wiem czy jeszcze kiedyś cię zobaczę
Ale jeśli tam jesteś, mam nadzieję, że z tobą wszystko w porządku
[Zwrotka 2]
Moja koleżanka z gimnazjum dorastała sama
Sama wychowywała braci
Jej rodzice nienawidzili tego, kogo kochała
Nie mogła doczekać się studiów
Była zmęczona bo została sprowadzona na świat
Gdzie rodzina to zaledwie krew
Czy wie jaka jestem dumna, że została stworzona
Z odwagą aby oduczyć się ich całej nienawiści?
Nie rozmawiamy dużo, ale muszę powiedzieć
Tęsknię za tobą i mam nadzieję, że z tobą wszystko w porządku
[Bridge]
Adresuję listy do dziur w moich motylich skrzydłach
Nic nie jest na zawsze, nic nie jest tak dobre jak się wydaje
I kiedy chmury nie chcą się wyprostować
I potwory wślizgują się do twojego domu
I każde drzwi trudno zamknąć
[Outro]
Cóż, mam nadzieję, że wiecie jaka jestem dumna że zostaliście stworzeni
Z odwagą aby oduczyć się ich całej nienawiści
Ale, Boże, mam nadzieję, że dzisiaj jesteście szczęśliwsi
Bo kocham was
I mam nadzieję, że z wami wszystko w porządku
[Verse 1]
Küçükken bir delikanlı tanıyordum
Sırma saç bir sarışın, acı içinde
Bandoda davul çalıyordu
Ebeveynleri İncil'i önemsiyordu
Kendi çocuklarına iyi davranmaktan daha çok
Babası yüzünden uzun kollu giyerdi
Ve bir şekilde iletişimimiz koptu
Umarım kötü şansını iyiye çevirmiştir
Bir gün seni tekrar görecek miyim bilmiyorum
Ama eğer orada bir yerdeysen, umarım iyisindir
[Verse 2]
Ortaokul arkadaşım yalnız başına büyüdü
Kardeşlerini kendi başına büyüttü
Ailesi sevdiği kişiden nefret ediyordu
Üniversiteye gitmek için sabırsızlanıyordu
Yorgundu, çünkü getirildiği dünyada
Aile sadece kan bağıydı
Yarattığı şeylerle ne kadar gurur duyduğumu biliyor mu?
Onların nefretini unutmak için gösterdiği yüreklilikle?
Fazla konuşmuyoruz, ama söylemeliyim ki
Seni özlüyorum ve umarım iyisindir
[Köprü]
Bu mektubu kelebek kanatlarımdaki deliklere iletiyorum
Hiçbir şey sonsuz değil, hiçbir şey gözüktüğü kadar iyi değil
Ve bulutlar dağılmadığında
Ve canavarlar evine girdiğinde
Ve her kapıyı kapatmak zor olduğunda
[Çıkış]
Umarım yarattığın şeylerle ne kadar gurur duyduğumu biliyorsundur
Onların nefretini unutmak için gösterdiğin yüreklilikle
Ama, Tanrım, Umarım bugün daha mutlusundur
Çünkü seni seviyorum
Ve umarım iyisindir
