Started the day at 5:30 this morning 5:30今天上午开始了一天

Still half asleep, reached toward her pillow 依然半睡半醒，达到了对她的枕头

No one there, she left before daybreak 一个人也没有，她天亮前离开

A brief kiss on the cheek introducing heartache 脸颊上介绍心痛的简短的吻

A flip of her hair as she walked out the door 她的头发倒装当她走出门

I won't see her anymore 我再也看不到她了

   

She wants to be the world's finest actress 她想成为世界上最好的女演员

Or did she say a famous ballerina 或者她说了一个著名的芭蕾舞演员

Either way, I'll be left here 无论哪种方式，我会离开这里

While far away, she won't remember 虽然远，她会不记得

All of the simple things we used to do 所有我们用来做简单的事

Why does she need something new 为什么她需要一些新的东西

   

Live my life in quiet desperation 我的生活在平静的绝望

Trapped in the clouds, no sunshine in sight 被困在云中，看不到阳光

Still have my hopes, but 'til she returns 还有我的希望，但是，直到她回来

I'll be living in quiet desperation 我就住在平静的绝望

   

She doesn't feel the need to be close to someone 她不觉得是接近人的需要

Too many dreams, different roads to follow 太多的梦想，不同的道路跟随

But perhaps, someday she'll be returning 但也许，有一天她会回来

Maybe call, talk about the old times 也许打电话，谈论旧时代

But still it seems that those days are all gone 但似乎这些天都走了

How can I carry on 我该如何进行

   

Live my life in quiet desperation 我的生活在平静的绝望

Trapped in the clouds, no sunshine in sight 被困在云中，看不到阳光

Still have my hopes, but 'til she returns 还有我的希望，但是，直到她回来

I'll be living in quiet desperation 我就住在平静的绝望

But still it seems that those days are all gone 但似乎这些天都走了

How can I carry on 我该如何进行

   

Live my life in quiet desperation 我的生活在平静的绝望

Trapped in the clouds, no sunshine in sight 被困在云中，看不到阳光

Still have my hopes, but 'til she returns 还有我的希望，但是，直到她回来

I'll be living in quiet desperation 我就住在平静的绝望
