歌词
I had one friend in high school recently he hung himself with string

His note said

"If livin' is the problem, well that's just baffling."
“如果活着就是症结所在，那这真是一个不解的谜题”
And at the wake I waited around to see my ex first love
这天早晨 我等着与曾经的初恋碰面
And I barely recognized her, but I knew exactly what she was thinking of

We sat quietly in the corner whispering close about loss
我们静静地坐在角落里 亲密地细语着彼此的失落
And I remembered why I loved her, and I asked her why I drove her off

Its soft edge might cut you

And our poor friend, Jim

Well he just lived within

The slow fade of love

A woman calls my house once a week; she's always selling things

Some charity, a phone plan, a subscription to a magazine

I was driving south of Melrose; I happened upon my old lover's old house
我驾车驶到了梅尔罗斯 碰巧路过了我前女友的家
I found myself staring at the closed up door like the day she threw me out
我意识到自己正盯着那扇牢牢紧闭的门 仿佛回到了她将我踢出家门的那天
"Dianna, Dianna, Dianna I would die for you
“戴安娜，戴安娜，戴安娜，我能为你而死
I'm in love with you completely, I'm afraid that's all I can do"
我疯狂地爱着你，离开了你我怕是什么都做不了”

"You can sleep upon my doorstep, you can promise me indifference, Jim

For the slow fade of love
爱情渐行渐远逝去时
It might hit you from below
它能出其不意地击中你
It's your gradual descent
你就这么一步步陷进了
Into a life you never meant
一种你从未想要的生活中
It's the slow fade of love
