Diary Of A Trying Man

歌词
I keep trying to move on
我不断尝试继续前行
I GPS all my thoughts
在心海中追溯过往的万千思绪
But they lead me to places
但却被指引至那些
That gon' hurt me inside
只会让我痛彻心扉的角落
I've been trying to stay strong
我一直以来试图佯装坚强
But when the memories spawn
但每当回忆如潮水般涌上心头
I gotta chase 'em with whiskey
我唯有借威士忌的烈性以对抗那深埋心滴的创伤
'Cause they run on my mind
因为它们盘踞在我的灵魂深处
Can't turn the radio on
我不愿再打开收音机
Because they only play songs
因为那有的只是循环播放的绝唱
That take me back to those days
一切的一切都将勾忆起曾经的点滴时光
And all those late-night drives
以及那些辗转反侧的午夜驰骋
When you'd lay on my arm
当你柔弱的身躯依偎于我挽起的双臂
Tell me what I do wrong
请告诉我究竟哪里做的不对
And I would look in your face
否则我只能无奈地凝视你的双眸
And say but girl I try
挤出"亲爱的,我已竭尽全力"的陈词滥调
I'll try, I tried, I tried to be
我尝试过了,也已倾尽所有,我试图去成为
The man that you wanted
成为你心中投射出的那个理想之人
But I couldn't provide
但我做不到,无法满足你的期望
21, I was young, dumb, living
二十一,我正值年少无知的年纪
Chasing dreams
以座右铭之力追逐梦想
Trying to go from a boy to a man
努力从稚嫩的男孩成长蜕变为成熟的男人
I gave my heart to a pretty little demon
我曾将自己炽热的真心托付给了一朵带刺的玫瑰
Who was asking for the world
她索要的不仅是这整个世界的所有权
And a Disney romance
也要缔造一段迪士尼童话般的浪漫
She valued money
她看重的是金钱所散发出的铜臭
Not the substance that I had
而非我所拥有的坚韧与真挚
I was building for the future
我曾努力铺就通往未来的道路
But she couldn't understand
但她却无法理解
That a diamond only shines
钻石的光芒
Overtime under pressure that's applied
唯有在岁月的磨砺
From my disciplined hand
和无畏的坚守中方能绽放
She let me go then she moved away
她选择离我而去,带着相同的愿景开启下一段故事的篇章
Said she could do better
扬言自己能够觅得更胜之选
And I was a man she could replace
而我,不过是她随时可以替代掉的匆匆过客
Said I wasn't worth it and the memories
我被你贴上不足挂齿的标签
That we had made was just
那些我们共同经历的时光
Wrong time, wrong place
被轻描淡写为"在错误的时间和地点的邂逅"
And all a mistake
一切皆为误会的闹剧
I keep trying to move on
我不断尝试继续前行
I GPS all my thoughts
在心海中追溯过往的万千思绪
But they lead me to places
但却被指引至那些
That gon' hurt me inside
只会让我痛彻心扉的角落
I've been trying to stay strong
我一直以来试图撑起脆弱的伪装
But when the memories spawn
但每当回忆如潮水般涌上心头
I gotta chase 'em with whiskey
我唯有借威士忌的烈性以驱散那笼罩心头的阴霾
'Cause they run on my mind
因为它们盘踞在我的灵魂深处
Can't turn the radio on
我不愿再打开收音机
Because they only play songs
因为那有的只是循环播放的绝唱
That take me back to those days
一切的一切都将勾忆起曾经的点滴时光
And all those late-night drives
以及那些辗转反侧的午夜驰骋
When you'd lay on my arm
当你柔弱的身躯依偎于我挽起的双臂
Tell me what I do wrong
请告诉我,我究竟错在哪里
And I would look in your face
否则我只能无奈地直视你的双眸
And say but girl I try
挤出"亲爱的,我已竭尽全力"的陈词滥调
I'll try, I tried, I tried to be
我尝试过了,也已倾尽所有,我试图去成为
The man that you wanted
成为你心中投射出的那个理想之人
But I couldn't provide
但我做不到,无法满足你的期望
Now I'm moving at a different pace
如今,我已不同往日的步伐继续前行
Don't blame me for moving on
请别责怪我就此放下过去
Because you couldn't wait
因为是你不愿等待
You left to find yourself
是你选择去寻找属于自己的答案
And found out what we had was great
而你是否明白,我们曾共度的时光是何其珍贵
Our cities way too small
你我所在的城市虽小
To act like we ain't never date
却足以容纳得下我们的素不相识
And now your banging on my line
现在,你试图捧着那颗伤痕累累的心重新进入我的生活
I ain't calling you back
但我是不会再轻易地做出回应
You used to race all on my mind
你曾占据我所有的思绪
Now my life's on track
而如今,我的生活早已重回正轨
You ain't gon' waste no more of my time
你不再值得浪费我的一分一秒
'Cause I'm not that you man
因为我不再是那个人
You knew from the past
那个过去所相识的男人
That gave you a chance
那个曾经为你留有机会的男人
You used to think that it was all a game
你曾戏谑得把这一切当作掌上的游戏
Looking back girl
亲爱的,回首往事
I think that I'm the one to blame
我或许才是那个理应斥责的人
I'm setting boundaries
毕竟我是那个设立起边界感的人
I'm not the same
我已不同往昔
Don't call 'cause I blocked you on everything
请勿再试图联系,因为我已将你从我的世界中彻底屏蔽
And if I ever come across your mind
若有一日,我无意闯入你的思绪
I hope you think about those late-night drives
我希望你能回忆起那些漫长的午夜驰骋
And tell yourself I didn't deserve those lies
并自我催眠,我不值得那些谎言
Those words, those fights
那些言语,以及那些争执
I tried, I tried
我尝试过了,也竭尽全力过
I keep trying to move on
我不断尝试继续前行
I GPS all my thoughts
在心海中追溯过往的万千思绪
But they lead me to places
但却被指引至那些
That gon' hurt me inside
只会让我痛彻心扉的角落
I've been trying to stay strong
我一直以来试图撑起脆弱的伪装
But when the memories spawn
但每当回忆如潮水般涌上心头
I gotta chase 'em with whiskey
我唯有借威士忌的烈性以驱散那笼罩心头的阴霾
'Cause they run on my mind
因为它们盘踞在我的灵魂深处
Can't turn the radio on
我不愿再打开收音机
Because they only play songs
因为那有的只是循环播放的绝唱
That take me back to those days
一切的一切都将勾忆起曾经的点滴时光
And all those late-night drives
以及那些辗转反侧的午夜驰骋

The man that you wanted

But I couldn't provide
但我做不到,无法满足你的奢望
