Lyrics & Translation

[English]

The only reason I left, was because I thought I was protecting you.

I needed you, to have a chance at a normal, happy, life.

So easy for you to leave.

Leaving you was the hardest thing I've done, in a hundred years.

I swear,

I will never, fail you, again.

I'm so sorry.

Charlie's coming.

Hey!

You okay?

I'm Fine.

Dad, you don't have to worry.

Yeah, last time you said that you took off.

I didn't see you for three days.

I'm really sorry, Dad.

Bella, do not ever do that to me again.

Ever.

And you're grounded...

...for the rest of your life.

Okay.

I'm not technically breaking any of his rules.

He did say, I couldn't take a step inside the door.

I came in through the window.

He's not gonna forgive easily.

I know.

Can you?

I hope you can because...

...I honestly don't know, how to live without you.

Come here.

Key Grammar Structures

• The only reason I left, was because I thought I was protecting you.

  ➔ Subjunctive mood (was because)

  ➔ The 'was because' construction, while sometimes debated, functions as a subjunctive expressing a reason or explanation. It emphasizes the hypothetical nature of the reason for leaving. The 'reason' is presented as a condition.

• Leaving you was the hardest thing I've done, in a hundred years.

  ➔ Gerund as subject

  ➔ "Leaving you" functions as the subject of the sentence. This is a common use of the gerund (-ing form of a verb) to act as a noun.

• I'm really sorry.

  ➔ Contraction of 'I am'

  ➔ The use of 'I'm' is a common contraction in English, making speech and writing more fluid. It demonstrates a natural and informal tone.

• Bella, do not ever do that to me again.

  ➔ Negative imperative

  ➔ The phrase 'do not ever...' is a strong negative imperative, expressing a firm prohibition. The 'ever' intensifies the command.
