Broken glass and cigarettes 碎酒杯和菸蒂
Writin’ on the wall 不祥的前兆
It was a bargain for the summer 那是夏天的廉價品
And I thought I had it all 我曾經擁有一切
I was the one who gave you everything 我曾為妳付出一切
The one who took the fall 承擔妳一切的罪過
You were the one who would do anything 妳卻什麼事都搞得出來
The one who can’t recall 而且從不回頭
Where she was while she was sleepin’ 當她熟睡時
In another women’s bed 是睡在另一個女人旁
Or the doctor’s or the lawyer’s 一個醫生或律師旁
Or the stranger that she met 還是隨便遇見的陌生人旁
If there’s nothin’ that I can gain from this 如果我還不能從妳身上學到什麼
Or anything at all 或是任何事
It’d be the knowledge that you gave me 就當這是妳教我的
When I thought I’d heard it all 當我想起我曾聽到的一切
It was a long time for you 對妳來說這是段漫長的日子
It was a long time for me 對我來說這也是段漫長的日子
It’d be a long time for anyone but 對大家來說都是段漫長的日子
Looks like it’s meant to be 但卻像命中註定般
Social class and registers 社會階級和名冊
Cocaine in the hall 大廳裡的可卡因
All the way from California 全來自加利福尼亞
On the way to your next call 運往妳下次的毒癮
To those non-negotiations 不需協商
To stimulate a cause 只需要生出一個理由
For the betterment of evils 為了壯大妳的罪惡
And your ways around the laws 收買一切法律途徑
That keep you up and sitting pretty 讓妳衣冠楚楚
On a pedestal or bed 受人尊崇
And now you’re sleeping like an angel 妳睡得像個天使
Never mind who gave you head 不用在乎誰為妳口交
If there’s somethin’ I can make of this 如果我能領悟到什麼
Or anything at all 或是任何事
It’d be the devil hates a loser 我會像惡魔一樣憎恨這些魯蛇
And you thought you had it all 而妳還以為妳擁有一切
It was a long time for you 對妳來說這是段漫長的日子
It was a long time for me 對我來說這也是段漫長的日子
It’d be a long time for anyone but 對大家來說都是段漫長的日子
Looks like it’s meant to be 但卻像命中註定般
If I could go back in time 如果我能回到過去
To the place in my soul 回到靈魂的一處
There all alone 孤獨的那一處
Lonely teardrops ooh 寂寞的眼淚
Are callin’ you 呼喚著妳
But I don’t want to know it now 但我再也不想知道
Cause knowin’ you 因為就算了解了妳
It won’t change a damn thing 也改變不了該死的事實
But there was a time 但曾經
