Somehow after many requests for this, Jeff has done it (ba dum tss)
In all seriousness, I got several requests to cover this iconic song and while there are many solid adapted takes on it, I thought I'd give it a go (though I think I lost a bit of my will to live trying to cover the vocal range of this song). Similar to how I approached Donor Song many yrs ago, I tried to adapt the "mechanical" references metaphorically rather than literally, though I left a few references here and there. Thanks for watching/listening!

English Lyrics::
Sometimes I, wonder if it would be easier to throw away
And I'd smile, for I know that I would make it through the day
And just like that again the pain inside my chest begins to hurt
Don't speak, you make it worse
Sometimes I, wonder if I it would be easier to forget
And inside, cast away these feelings 'til there's nothing left
Trust me I've tried but still I cannot seem to let go like before
Don't show me anymore
No matter how much closer I try to move to you
There is only one heart, beating between us two
It's hurting me, destroying me
This pain's overwhelming me, it cannot be
I'm asking you, tear me in two
I'll let you do anything you please
Building inside, I can't deny
My eyes start to swell like I'm gonna cry
But you're holding me, still tightly
Somehow I manage to find a way
To be okay
I'm okay
And if I, ever had the chance to see a dream come true
Would you realize, that I'd wish for whatever that you would choose
But that's impossible so all that I have left for me is here
And so I keep you near
No matter how much I believe that I'm loved by you
Still there's only one heart, beating between us two
Please stop it now, please stop it now
I don't understand, I just want to shout
All that I do, leaves me confused
I don't understand what's this about
It hurts so much, it hurts so much
I feel like I'm breaking, don't have the words
And I don't know, this feeling grows
I beg you don't, leave me alone
It's hurting me, destroying me
This pain's overwhelming, can't even breathe
I'm asking you, tear me in two
I'll let you do anything you please
Building inside, I can't deny
My eyes start to swell like I'm gonna cry
But you're holding me, still tightly
Somehow I manage to find a way
I'm okay
And if I, somehow had a heart to call my very own
How could I, find out where it is, it's something I must know
And then you slowly turned while smiling and spoke so quietly
"It's here in front of me"

Ohhh I love your lyrics. I'm used to another English translation and both versions have different tones. Yours is more sad and lonely and the other is more upset.
