If You Can't Love Me

歌词
Please sit down, just talk to me,
请坐,我们坦白说
We'll see if we can talk this through,
可以预见我们谈话的结果
I've tried so hard to understand it,
我曾尝试着理解
Just tell me something that's close to the truth…
但只停留在事情的表面
I'd rather you were cruel than kind,
我宁愿你坚决直接,也不要温柔友善
Is all that I'm demanding,
这就是我一直以来的追问
I've given up on peace of mind,
我放弃内心的平和
For the open wound of understanding.
开诚布公,交心畅谈
你的心不在这里,离我甚远
You can't be here and someplace else,
如果你意已决
If your mind is in that other place,
你要试着说服自己
You're trying to convince yourself,
现在你躺在我的身边
But you're lying in my face,
我的脑袋受够了你的谎言
I've listened ‘til my head would spin,
我不想和人分享你
I don't want half of anything.
沙漏证明着时间的痕迹
指缝里曾有过的一点一滴
The sand sits in the hourglass,
我真心地爱着你的假意
Time slips through our fingers fast,
如果你不能爱我
Your counterfeits deceived me,
就该离我而去
If you can't love me this way,
告诉我原因
Then you must leave me.
别再浪费我的感情和期许
或许自由才是该追求的东西
Tell me how it came to this,
一半的你和我,勉强又委屈
Just don't think to spare me this,
难以逾越的鸿沟
Perhaps the truth can set us free,
和谐的土地,可惜裂缝早已
From the half truths ensnaring you and me,
拽着我往更深更黑的地方去
This black hole of intensity,
破碎的脸,隐于背后
Collapses on its density,
他们说,自欺欺人也许就会过去
And sucks me to a darker place,
也许总有办法让你留下来
That hides behind a broken face.
今天我一再犹豫
脑袋混沌,倾听心意
Keep up appearances they say,
我不想要任何一半的东西
And all those reasons you might stay,
我不想要分享出去一半的你
Ring hollow in my mind today,
我的田野里满是怀疑的种子
I've listened ‘til my head would spin,
酒是暖的,却冷到心里
I don't want half of anything,
这没有减轻痛意,分毫治愈
I don't want half of anything.
如果你再不爱我
The fields are sown with seeds of doubt,
也许我真的不在你心里
The wine is warm, you spit it out,
你不要隐瞒什么
This drinking won't relieve me,
直接离开就好了
If you can't love me this way,
银河里闪烁着的,对望着的繁星
If you can't love me this way,
彼此照耀,不会相交
If you can't love me this way,
感情比空气变得更措不及防
Then you must leave me.
当你走近房间里
你的香气
The patterns in the distant stars,
身体的甜味
Our fates upon a loom,
都痛苦得提醒着我回忆
The changes in the temperature,
提醒着我已经失去了你
When you walked into a room,
怎么呼吸
The smell of your perfume,
就像潜水者丧失了氧气,被丢在海里
The taste of your skin,
怎么入睡,怎么醒
All those bitter reminders,
怎么笑,还是说,怎么不哭泣
Of the failed state I'm in.
我能逃到哪里,才能躲掉你
昆虫被甲醛做成标本一具
How do I breathe now, how do I inhale?
昨天和旧报纸一起老去
I'm a diver on the seabed, my oxygen's failed.
我怎么能活在在碎片里
How do I wake up, how do I sleep?
他们说我可以假仁假义
How do I laugh now, I can't even weep?
或许总有办法可以
Where do I run to, where do I hide?
我脑袋天旋地转
An insect preserved in formaldehyde,
听够了你的所谓甜蜜
Yesterday's paper its pages curled,
我不想要任何一半的东西
How can I live in this broken world?
我不想要一半的你
时间像沙漏,流走回忆
Keep up appearances they say,
指缝流失的,是抓不住的东西
But all those reasons you might stay,
无论你说什么,都不能挽回我的心意
Ring hollow in my mind today,
既然你已经不爱我了
I've listened ‘til my head would spin,
如果你都不爱我了
I don't want half of anything,
如果你的心已经不在我这里
I don't want half of anything.
那你就一定该离去
The sand it falls in the hour glass,
And time slips through our fingers fast,
And nothing that you say relieves me,
If you can't love me this way,
If you can't love me this way,
If you can't love me this way,
Then you must leave me.
