Wasted Words - As I Lay Dying

Wasted Words - As I Lay Dying

There are days when sorrow seems never-ending
有些日子痛苦似乎没有尽头
Like the countless roads upon which I've driven
像我驱车驶过的数不尽的道路
The price of attachment in pursuit of dreams
在追寻梦想过程中付出的代价
That I so often can't seem to remember
我似乎无法回忆起来
Yet there are days when beauty cannot be contained
然而美总有藏不住的时候
It even crawls out from under ordinary things
即使从最普通的事情里也能发现它的踪迹
A foreigner
身在异乡
No place to go
无处可去
Holding on
坚持着
Making the most
争取利用好
Of what little time I have
我所拥有的每一段时间
All the wasted words I said
所有我说过的食言的话语
In all the cities that I left
在我离开的所有城市里
The last act of our precious play
我们在一起的最后一个活动
Must not close with regret
一定不能以遗憾收尾
I will not leave wishing I had done things differently
我从不期望自己做事与众不同
The moments I treasure are seldom the ones
我珍视的时刻很少是像
That I planned for
我计划的那般
And if I knew where pain hid
若我知道痛苦藏在哪里
I might still let it go
我也许会顺其自然
So when the audience has run toward the latest drift
所以当听众对最新的潮流趋之若鹜
It will be my time to face the life that I have set
那会是我面对自己选择的生活的时候
A foreigner in my own home
我家乡的一位外国人
Holding on
坚持着
No place to go
无处可去
All the wasted words I said
所有我说过的食言的话语
In all the cities that I left
在我离开的所有城市里
The last act of our precious play
我们在一起的最后一个活动
Must not close with regret
一定不能以遗憾收尾
All the wasted words
所有食言的话语
Some days the line between peace
有些日子和平出现
And pain seem more like blur
痛苦也似乎变轻
But I know with certainty
但我确切地知道
I can't leave wishing
我不能期望着
I cannot leave
我不能离开
I can't leave wishing
我不能期望着
I'd done things differently
我做事与众不同
