震耳欲聾的樂聲間，聽見自我的聲音

Every Avenue - Tell Me I'm A Wreck

I could have been easier on you
我本可對妳更好些
I could have been all you held onto
我本可成為妳的白馬王子
I know I wasn't fair, I tried my best to care about you
我知道聽來不甚公平 但我盡我所能關心妳
I know I could have been a better man
我知道我本可成為更好的人
But I always had to have the upper hand
但我總習慣佔據上風
I'm struggling to see the better side of me
努力於看見自己更好的一面
But I can't take all your jabs and taunts
但我真心受夠妳的冷嘲熱諷
You're pointing out my every fault
妳指出我所有的過錯
And you wonder why I walked away
而妳還搞不清為什麼我要離開

When you tell me I'm a wreck
當妳說我是個魯蛇
You say that I'm a mess
說我一團糟
How could you expect anything less?
妳怎能期待我們還有未來?
You latched onto me then cried that I strung you along
妳抓著我不放手 卻又哭著抱怨我太黏人
I told you when you asked
當妳問起時我如實回答
I knew this wouldn't last
我知道我們不會長久
At least I could be honest about that
至少我可以誠實面對
And now you're telling everyone
而現在妳到處跟人說
How I only did you wrong
我對妳有多麼差勁
I guess you never knew me at all
我想妳從未真正了解我

Remember on my 21st birthday
記得我21歲生日時
You took me where we went on our first date
妳帶我重回第一次約會的地方
We stayed till closing time, after 4 glasses of wine
我們待到打烊時 四杯紅酒後
You started with a pointless argument
妳開始了無意義的爭執
You said that I forgot to compliment
妳說我忘記稱讚
The dress you wore that night
妳當晚穿的
That I've seen a thousand times
那件我看過不下千次的洋裝
But I think we just want different things
但我想我們要的東西不同
I want space, you want a diamond ring
我想要空間 妳想要戒指
Whatever made you think we were meant to be?
到底哪方面讓妳覺得我們注定在一起？

When you tell me I'm a wreck
當妳說我是個魯蛇
You say that I'm a mess
說我一團糟
How could you expect anything less?
妳怎能期待我們還有未來?

Still I see you standing there
依舊看妳站在原地
Waiting 'round for me to fall
等待我重回妳的身邊
Girl you must be crazy
女孩妳一定腦袋有問題
Still believing you and me belong
仍然相信我們是天注定
I guess you never knew me at all
我想妳從未真正了解我
