Time was once just a clock to me 时间曾经只是一个时钟给我

And life was just a book a biography 而生命只是一本书，一本传记

Success was something you just had to be 成功是什么，你只是必须是

And I would spend myself unknowingly 我会花我自己在不知不觉中

   

And you know that I could have me a million more friends 而你知道，我可以有我一百万更多的朋友

And all I'd have to lose is my point of view 而我不得不失去的是我的观点

But I had no idea what a good time would cost 但我不知道有什么好的时间将花费

Till last night when I sat and talked with you. 直到昨天晚上，当我坐下来，和你们说话了。

   

An apple will spoil if it's been abused 苹果会破坏它是否被滥用

A candle disappears when its been used 蜡烛消失，当它被使用

A rainbow may follow up a hurricane 彩虹会跟进飓风

And you know that I'd survive if I never spoke again 而你知道，我会生存下去，如果我再也没有说话

And all I'd have to lose is my vanity 而我不得不失去的是我的虚荣心

But I had no idea what a good time would cost 但我不知道有什么好的时间将花费

Till last night when you sat and talked with me. 直到昨天晚上，当你坐下来，与我说话。

   

You can smile for the lack of something else to do 你可以微笑的不足点别的事情做

And no one will laugh and point a finger at you 没有人会笑，点了手指，你

If your tears didn't always make me feel so bad 如果你的眼泪始终没让我感觉如此糟糕

Would you still cry every time that you felt sad? 你还会哭，每次你感到难过的时候？

Till you said something neither of us knew 直到你说了些什么，我们谁也不知道

And I had no idea what a good time would cost 我不知道有什么好的时间将花费
