When hope was high

But the tigers come at night
而兇殘的老虎（此指危機(jī)）本性總是乘夜襲來

With their voices soft as thunder

As they tear your hope apart

And they turn your dream to shame
夢想變成恥辱 夢想的實踐 只如同笑話一般

He slept a summer by my side

He filled my days with endless wonder

He took my childhood in his stride
他踏碎了我沉悶而一潭死水的生活 我們墜入了涼靜安閑的境界

But he was gone when autumn came
但在秋葉飄落起舞時 他卻離開了我

And still I dream he'll come to me
直至如今我依舊脆弱地夢想期盼著 他即將會回到我身旁

That we will live the years together
憧憬著我們像以前的美好過往一樣 共度美好余生

But there are dreams that cannot be

I had a dream my life would be

Now life has killed the dream I dreamed
