你的每个字都令我神魂颠倒
I saved every letter you wrote me
我对你的花言巧语毫无抵抗
From the moment I read them
你丰富的文采 为我建造出艺术的宫殿
I knew you were mine, said you were mine
建造如教堂般的杰作
I thought you were mine
当我再次回味那些情书
我在苦苦搜寻着
Do you know what Angelica said
寻找着字里行间
When we saw your first letter arrive?
证明你的心曾经属于我的迹象
She said, "Be careful with that one, love
我的世界仿佛在
He will do what it takes to survive."
肆意燃烧
You and your words flooded my senses
被熊熊烈火吞噬
Your sentences left me defenseless
你把她写给你的信公之于众
You built me palaces out of paragraphs
你向全世界公布你如何把她带上我们的床
You built cathedrals
为了你的荣誉,你竟亲手葬送我们的生活
I'm re-reading the letters you wrote me
你知道Angelica读到你的所作所为时
I'm searching and scanning for answers
她怎么说的
In every line, for some kind of sign
她说,“你嫁给了一个伊卡洛斯(希腊神话中的夸父)
And when you were mine
他的野心使他飞得过高,离太阳太近”
The world seemed to
(在神话中Icarus有蜡做的翅膀,飞的太高会被太阳的温度融化)
Burn
你的字里行间透露对遗产的狂热
你的语句近乎逻辑混乱
Burn
(你的雷诺兹小册的)每个字都透露着你的多疑
You published the letters she wrote you
对他人的眼光过度揣度
You told the whole world how you brought this girl into our bed
你,你,你....
In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives
我决定抹去 你的故事里我的踪迹
Do you know what Angelica said
以后的历史学家们只能去凭空猜测
When she read what you'd done?
当你让Eliza心碎的时候 她是什么反应
She said, "You have married an Icarus
你将我的心伤得彻彻底底
He has flown too close to the sun."
我在看着它
You and your words, obsessed with your legacy
在失望中燃烧
Your sentences border on senseless
看着我的心被火焰吞噬
And you are paranoid in every paragraph
这个世界没有权利看透我的内心
How they perceive you
这个世界没有权利窥探我们的私生活
You, you, you...
人们不会知道我说了什么
我要烧毁所有的记忆
I'm erasing myself from this narrative
烧毁所有 能还你清白的信件
Let future historians wonder how Eliza
你没有权利进入我的心
Reacted when you broke her heart
你没有权利使用我们的床
You have torn it all apart
你去办公室睡觉吧
I am watching it
我仅剩下一段记忆
Burn
曾经拥有过你的那段记忆
Watching it burn
我希望你原地爆炸
The world has no right to my heart
The world has no place in our bed
They don't get to know what I said
I'm burning the memories
Burning the letters that might have redeemed you
You forfeit all rights to my heart
You forfeit the place in our bed
You sleep in your office instead
With only the memories
Of when you were mine
I hope that you burn
