築宇角

Step one you say we need to talk

一開始，你說我們需要談談

He walks you say sit down it's just a talk

他想走開，你說坐著吧！只是小聊一下下

He smiles politely back at you

他禮貌的對你回以微笑

You stare politely right on through

你客氣的凝視他，想把他看穿

Some sort of window to your right

在你右手邊開了幾扇窗

As he goes left and you stay right

當他朝左手邊走去，你仍留在光亮的一方

Between the lines of fear and blame

在他的恐懼與責難之間

You begin to wonder why you came

你開始問自己，你為何而來

§

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

從哪裡開始搞錯方向的，就這樣失去一個朋友

Somewhere along in the bitterness

哀慟地沿著生命的缺痕嘗遍苦澀

And I would have stayed up with you all night

當初我該陪著你徹夜不眠

Had I known how to save a life

如果那時我就知道如何拯救你的話

§

Let him know that you know best

讓他知道你是最懂他的人

Cause after all you do know best

因為你的確是最懂他的人

Try to slip past his defense

試著瓦解他的武裝

Without granting innocence

不要只是遞出一張好人卡虛應了事

Lay down a list of what is wrong

把犯下的錯誤列成清單

The things you've told him all along

那些你曾告誡過他無數次的錯，全都寫下來

And pray to God he hears you

然後虔誠地向神祈禱，他會聽見你的

And pray to God he hears you

心無旁騖地向神祈禱，相信他會聽見你的

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

從哪裡開始搞錯方向的，就這樣失去一個朋友

Somewhere along in the bitterness

哀慟地沿著生命的缺痕嘗遍苦澀

And I would have stayed up with you all night

當初我該陪著你徹夜不眠

Had I known how to save a life

如果我早就知道該如何拯救你的話

As he begins to raise his voice

當他開始揚高聲調

You lower yours and grant him one last choice

你降低音量給他最後一次機會

Drive until you lose the road

是載著他前行，直到你們一起失去道路的方向

Or break with the ones you've followed

或是與你們曾跟隨的人們分道揚鑣

He will do one of two things

他將會在兩者之間二擇一

He will admit to everything

他會坦承每一次犯行

Or he'll say he's just not the same

或是說他將要改過自新

And you'll begin to wonder why you came

然後你將會開始反思，你究竟為何而來
