Everything

[Intro]

Everything alalah

[Verse 1]

A lack of love, that we admit

Hurts us from the evening to the morning

I envy others, even their faults

I want to be any other kid

The screen reflects a beautiful countryside

I see myself there without you holding me back

Time grabs your pretty face

And I never told you I love you

[Pre-chorus]

You wait for me to accept defeat

But I wait for a sign

That tells me that you're wrong

To keep on hoping again and again

[Chorus]

All that I want is to love you

And to drown your errors in the past

All that I can hope for

Is to heal these hearts that we have broken

All that I want, is to love you

And to drown your errors in the past

All that I can hope for

Is to heal these hearts that we have broken

[Verse 2]

I throw my biggest dreams in the air

It's the present that has become uncertain

I count the days rushing by in reverse

So as to see this man, even though it hurts you

I don't want to end up as neurotic as you are

I'm burning from your jealousy

I succeed in everything, but everything opposes us

My steps got heavier

[Chorus]

All that I want, is to love you

And to drown your errors in the past

All that I can hope for

Is to heal these hearts that we have broken

All that I want, is to love you

And to drown your errors in the past

All that I can hope for

Is to heal these hearts that we have broken

[Outro]

All that I want

My footsteps are heavy

My biggest dreams

A lack of love

And I never told you I love you

This translation is very moving and a job well done - these are just some suggestions:

My biggest dreams, I throw them in the air -> I throw my biggest dreams in the air

The latter sentence structure is more natural and common in English.

I count in reverse, the days which fly -> I count the days rushing by in reverse

The latter sentence also looks more natural for English.

All that I want, is to love you [This is good, just remove the comma to make it look less klunky]

I burn from your jealousy -> I'm burning from your jealousy

The latter tense is more active and so more suitable in this sentence.

To see this man even if it hurts you -> So as to see this man, even though it hurts you

The latter gets its point across clearer.

I'll try not to be too much of a killjoy, but this French is really poor, in my opinion. It sounds pretty-pretty and often doesn't make much sense.

Continuer d'y croire encore et encore -> This sounds like English with French words. The French is awkward and ambiguous.
Either "pour continuer" is meant (he waits for a sign to keep his hope alive) or it's just a separate statement ("I've got to keep on hoping")
At any rate "y croire" is idiomatic for "having hope/faith".

j'les fous en l'air -> "foutre en l'air" is idiomatic. "ruin / destroy". "'se foutre en l'air" is used for suicide, for instance.

J'compte à rebours -> a "compte à rebours" is a countdown (like when launching a rocket). I think it's just a mix of "je compte les jours", a classic way of expressing impatient expectation (see Cabrel for instance, I find both English translations very good) and this gratuitous "countdown"

J'compte à rebours les jours qui courent pour voir cet homme -> I have no idea who "cet homme" is. The metaphor does not compute.
I'm not sure where the sentence ends either. The only meaning I can think of is "this man" being what he hopes to become someday, his ideal self or something. Nah, this is lame. I give up.

finir avec -> "end up as neurotic as you are", basically

se sont alourdis -> "s'alourdir" means "become heavier" so that would be "my steps got heavier"

the outro is a mix of disjointed bits of sentences. No clever pun or double meaning, just in case someone wonders :)
