[Verse 1]
I know you're weak
I know you struggle just to blink
You held a queen and traded her down for a joker
Now a gay like me
A gay like me is in your dreams
A gay like me is in your dreams
And always will be
[Chorus]
Hey, I know
I still got a way to go
But I think I see
Aroha
Mana Takatāpui
Kei roto i a koe
[Verse 2]
Our tiny world
A fragile eggshell tumbling swirl
Cracking open there's an ocean flooding in now
I won't drown
Babe, you can save yourself
A golden thread above my head
I'm getting out now
[Chorus]
Hey, I know
I still got a way to go
But I think I see
Aroha
Mana Takatāpui
Kei roto i a koe
[Bridge]
Big sad moon
I was drawn to you
It's true
You reflect the sun
Without them
You arе no one
Was my light
Was my light shining too bright?
Is that why you said
That you can't shine around me?
[Chorus]
Hеy, I know
I still got a way to go
But I think I see
Aroha
Mana Takatāpui
Kei roto i a koe
Hey, I know
I still got a way to go
But I think I see
Aroha
Mana Takatāpui
Kei roto i a koe
[Bridge]
If you won't let me be the love of your life
Then I'll be the loss of your life
If you won't let me be the love of your life
Then I'll be the loss of your life
If you won't let me be the love of your life
Then I'll be the loss of your life
[Chorus]
Aroha
Mana Takatāpui
Kei roto i a koe
Aroha
Mana Takatāpui
Kei roto i a koe
Aroha
Mana Takatāpui
Kei roto i a koe
