Stop using とか all the time, woman It's quite difficult to translate these lyrics nicely. Anyhow, here's my attempt:

~~~

Dreamed a Dream

Where to draw the line
between old and nostalgic?
Things like, a king that’s become unusable
and a queen that is no longer used

Things like, where my heart belongs
and how I should use it

Uh- until now
Uh- I’ve used my cards
Uh- without much thought
I have to arrange them propely now

After being smashed to pieces
we went down on our knees
not caring if we looked pathetic
We kept collecting the pieces, in tears
Unable to give up
We’d fight and reconcile
Even in that state
like that
even now
we’re dreaming a dream together

Everything has changed
way more than we thought, hasn’t it?
Things like, running to catch up
only to somehow end up running past it

Uh- things like, appearing
at the same place

After everything was lost
What saved you?
What did you wish for?
No matter what the future brings
even if it’s rotten
My “straight ahead”
and your “straight ahead” —
Go, meet each other somewhere
intertwine and become light

After being smashed to pieces
we went down on our knees
not caring if we looked pathetic

After being smashed to pieces
we went down on our knees
not caring if we looked pathetic
We kept collecting the pieces, in tears
Unable to give up
We’d fight and reconcile

After everything was lost
What saved you?
What did you wish for?
No matter what the future brings
even if it’s rotten
My “straight ahead”
and your “straight ahead” —
Go, meet each other somewhere
intertwine and become light

Even in that state
like that
even now
we’re dreaming a dream together
