Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

This is the end of every song that we sing

这是我们所唱每首歌的终结

The fire burned out to ash, and the stars grown dim with tears

火焰燃尽成灰，星辰也泪光黯淡

Cold and afraid, the ghosts of all that we've been

寒冷而恐惧，我们过往的幽灵

We toast with bitter dregs, to our emptiness

我们举起苦涩残渣，敬我们的一无所有

And the birds falling out of our skies

鸟儿从我们的天空中坠落

And the words falling out of our minds

言语从我们的脑海中消逝

And here is to love, to all the love

为了爱，为了所有的爱

Falling out of our lives

从我们的生命中陨落

Hopes and dreams are gone

希望和梦想已逝

The end of every song

每首歌的终结

And it all stops

一切都停止了

We were always sure that we would never change

我们曾坚信我们永远不会改变

And it all stops

一切都停止了

We were always sure that we would stay the same

我们曾坚信我们永远会保持不变

...

...

But it all stops

但一切都停止了

And we close our eyes to sleep

我们闭上双眼入睡

To dream a boy and girl

去梦见一个男孩和一个女孩

Who dream the world is nothing but a dream

他们梦见这世界不过是一场梦

Where did it go?

Where did it go?

它去了哪里？

Broken voiced lament to call us home

This is the end of every song we sing

Where did it go?
