歌词
You don't need to love me
你不需要爱我
或假说你爱我
And tell me that you do
请别对我下承诺
只是请说这不是我们的终点
Don't make me any promises
可别对我施舍恩惠
相信我这绝非贪婪
Just promise we're not through
就让我为你做些什么吧
这是我唯一所求
Don't give me one damn thing
我知道我们可以携手做到
I won't let you call this greed
只要你种下这段情愫
Just let me give to you
你会看它长成参天大树
Its the only thing I need
而你不需要爱我
就会懂
I know that this can work
你不需要依赖我
这样是最好
If you plant one simple seed
如果我们能各自轻松离去
我若不走又何妨
You'd see it grow
我们可以拥有各自独立生活
但互相扶持,而非独自行走
You don't need to love me
你可以把我留在身后的黑暗中
我早已习惯这样
To know
你可以就把我当个朋友
当那个永远会拿起手机
You don't need to need me
接起你电话的朋友
我不用做你生活的必需品
It's better that you don't
这样就好
能不能让我做你的紧急联系人
If each of us can walk away
让你的生活也偶尔有我一份
或者让我做你在晴天时
It won’t matter that I won't
仍能称病假的借口
我们可以继续各自孤独
We'll both be self contained
但不必分离、不必形单影只
而我也永远不会奢望
But together not alone
能获得你的芳心
于是我永远不会惹你伤心
You can keep me in the dark
永远也不会让你心碎
Hell its all I've ever known
你不需要爱我
来让我帮你渡过难关
But we both could use a friend
你不需要把真心托付于我
Who will always check the phone
我大概会把一切都搞砸
你不需要回答我
And take the call
我心中早已知晓
但请听我说
You don't need to need me
请你相信我
你完全不需要像我爱你一样
At all
爱我
Let me be your emergency contact
Your occasional plus one
Your excuse to take a sick day
When the forecast calls for sun
We can keep on being lonely
But we don't have to be apart
And I'll never even ask you
To let me have your heart
So I'll never break your heart
No I'll never break your heart
You don't need to love me
To let me help you through
You don't need to confide in me
I've got crap enough for two
You don't need to answer
I'll know before you do
But hear me
And believe me
That you don't need to love me
The way that I love you
