I wrote a song, a journal 我写了一首歌，日记

Gave it to the world 把它给世界

Told the story 讲故事

Of when I was just a girl 当我还是一个女孩的

   

I sought understanding 我所追求的理解

Clarity in truth 清晰的真相

By baring all the wounds 由霸菱所有的伤口

Inflicted on my youth 曾给我的青春

   

You criticized my choice 你批评我的选择

To stand up to my past 站起来，我的过去

To give the pain a voice 给痛苦一个声音

So that it too could pass 因此，它也可以通过

   

But I felt brave 但是我觉得勇敢

And filled with pride as I let go 而充满自豪，因为我放手

Of bitterness that wouldn’t leave or let me grow 苦涩的说不会离开还是让我成长

   

But I will spend a lifetime 不过，我会用我的一生

Trying to understand 想了解

Why someone sharing my bloodline 为什么别人分享我的血脉

Would not lend me their hand 会不会借给我的手

   

Am I supposed to apologize? 我应该道歉吗？

Am I supposed to apologize? 我应该道歉吗？

Am I supposed to apologize? 我应该道歉吗？

Am I supposed to apologize? 我应该道歉吗？

   

I loved her more than myself 我爱她胜过我自己

But she made me choose 但她让我选择

Between her and my father 之间她和我的父亲

And so I refused 所以，我拒绝了

   

I fled her house and wrath 我逃了她的房子和愤怒

Eleven years of age 十一岁

Followed the crooked path 跟着歪路

That led me to a stage 这使我的舞台

   

The curtains opened up 窗帘打开了

My heart followed the lead 我的心脏马首是瞻

The music wouldn’t stop 音乐不会停止

And I could finally breathe 我终于呼吸

   

But I will spend a lifetime 不过，我会用我的一生

Trying to understand 想了解

Why someone sharing my bloodline 为什么别人分享我的血脉

Would not lend me their hand 会不会借给我的手

   

Am I supposed to apologize? 我应该道歉吗？
