Like you always said you would 就像你总是说你会

The girl I used to know 这个女孩我以前就知道

And all those halcyon days of love? 和爱的那些太平日子？

You made success of a dream 你犯了一个成功的梦

But it seems so empty now 但现在看来这样的空

With your weak excuses and 有了您的薄弱借口，

Your condescending ways 你居高临下的方式

And all too frequent nights - alone. 和所有过于频繁的夜晚 - 孤独。

   

I've come down in the world 我已经在世界回落

For your books and your fancy talk 为了您的书，您看中的谈话

Your new found friends and all 新发现的朋友和所有

Your theories on mankind - and society. 你的理论对人类 - 社会。
