I used to like the mornings
我曾经喜欢清晨
I'd survived another night
我熬过了又一个夜晚
I'd walk to breakfast through the garden
我会穿过花园去吃早餐
See the flowers stretching in the sunlight
鲜花在阳光下绽放
Now I wake up in the mornings
如今我每天早上醒来
And all the kindness is drained out of me
所有的善意都从我身上消失
I spend hours just wincing
我花了好几个小时瑟瑟发抖
And trying to regain some sense of peace
试图重拾内心的平静
If only I could sustain my anger
如果我能承受我的愤怒就好了
Feel it grow stronger and stronger
感觉愈发强烈
It sharpens to a point and sheds my skin
锋利的刀刃让我褪去衣衫
Shakes off the weight of my sins
摆脱我罪恶的压力
And takes me to heaven
带我去天堂
I stay up late every night
我每天都睡到很晚
Out of some general protest
出于普遍的抗议
But with no one to tell you to come to bed
但没有人叫你上床睡觉
It's not really a contest
这不是一场竞赛
Maybe you think
也许你觉得
I'll learn from my mistake
我会从错误中吸取教训
But not this time
但这一次不行
It's just gonna break me
只会让我支离破碎
If only I could sustain my anger
如果我能承受我的愤怒就好了
Feel it grow stronger and stronger
感觉愈发强烈
It sharpens to a point and sheds my skin
锋利的刀刃让我褪去衣衫
Shakes off the weight of my sins
摆脱我罪恶的压力
And takes me to heaven
带我去天堂
And if I've lost you for good
如果我永远失去了你
Could it have been any other way
会不会有别的结果
Was the water filling up for years
水是不是已经被填满了好多年
Or did I wreck it all in a day
还是说我在一天之内毁掉了一切
I'm going to bed now
我现在要睡觉了
I've sunk into my sorrows
我沉浸在悲伤里
And it'll take three hundred million dollars

To get me up tomorrow

I won't go down with this sh*t

I will put my hands up and surrender

There will be no more flags above my door

I have lost and always will be
