I've been racing for you, honey 我一直在争着给你，亲爱的

But you take your love 但是，你把你的爱

From under my feet 从我的脚下

The very moment I arrive 那一刻我到

I hold the invitation in my hand 我抱着我的手邀请

You smile and I don't understand 你的微笑，我不明白

When you tell me the writing ain't yours 当你告诉我的写作是不是你

You were the one thing I could count on 你是有一件事我可以依靠

Even if your apathy was what I expected 即使你的冷漠是我所期待的

Oh, darling, I waited and waited to feel your footsteps 哦，亲爱的，我等了又等来感受你的脚步

And to hear your breath 要听你的呼吸

But maybe I just wanted someone to wait for 但是，也许我只是想一个人等待

   

You were ever in my mind 你永远在我心中

You were behind my soul each time 你背着我每一次的灵魂

I held it to the flame 我把它的火焰

You were ever in my precious thoughts 你永远在我的宝贵思想

I'd leave a room of angels 我离开房间的天使

Just to be alone 只是独自一人

If only to say your name 如果只说你的名字

I never told you I needed you, darling 我从来没有告诉过你，我需要你，亲爱的

Like a rose needs the rain 像一朵玫瑰需要雨水

How could you possibly know how much? 你怎么可能知道多少呢？

So I reach for your love 所以我到了你的爱

Like the moon and the stars 就像月亮和星星

Ever in my sight 曾经在我眼前

Ever out of touch 自从脱节

   

There's a spotlight of a holy kind 有一个神圣的一种聚光灯

Think it comes from somewhere 认为它来自什么地方

Up in the sky or from some far off, lovely place 在天空或一些遥远的，美丽的地方

But this light never, ever, ever shone on me 不过，这种光线永远，永远，永远照在我

At least as far as I could see 至少就我所见

So I sat in the dark and I watched you 所以我坐在黑暗中，我看着你

Now I just cry to myself 现在，我只是哭自己

When there's no one around 当有四周无人

And I teach myself to walk backwards 我教自己倒着走

Out of any given situation 出任何给定的情况下

Yes, I can be graceful and try 是的，我可以很优雅，有尝试

Not to step on my train and 不要踩我的火车

You don't have to say goodbye 你不必说再见

But I'll be right here if you want to 但我会，如果你想在这里

Now, I could paint your portrait 现在，我就可以画画了你的肖像

If I ever loved 如果我曾经爱过

And I will speak but they won't recognize 我要说话，但他们也不会承认

My words, they'll say I'm telling lies 我的话，他们会说我在说谎
