Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

Nah, you don't know me

不，你不了解我

Lightning above and a fire below me

头顶闪电，脚下火焰

You can not catch me, can not hold me

你无法抓住我，无法控制我

You can not stop, much less control me

你无法停止，更别说控制我

When it rains, it pours

当雨下时，倾盆而至

When the floodgates open, brace your shores

当洪水闸门打开，做好准备

That pressure don't care, it breaks your doors

那压力无情，打破你的门

Say it's all you can take, better take some more

说这是你能承受的全部，最好再多承受一些

'Cause I know what it's like to test fate

因为我知道测试命运是什么感觉

Had my shoulders pressed with that weight

肩上承受着那份重担

Stood up strong in spite of that hate

尽管受到仇恨，我依然坚强站立

The night gets darkest right before dawn

夜晚在黎明前最黑暗

What don't kill you makes you more strong

什么都不能杀死你，反而让你更强

And I've been waiting for it so long

我等了这么久

The nights go on

夜晚继续

Waiting for a light that never comes

等待那永远不会来的光

I chase the sun

我追逐太阳

Waiting for a light that never comes

等待那永远不会来的光

Oh-oh-oh-oh

哦哦哦哦

Oh-oh-oh-oh

哦哦哦哦

Oh-oh-oh-oh

哦哦哦哦

Waiting for a light that never comes

等待那永远不会来的光

...

When I was young, they told me, they said

当我年轻时，他们告诉我

Make your bed, you lie in that bed

整理好你的床，你就躺在那床上

A King can only rein 'till instead

国王只能统治，直到那一天

There comes that day, it's off with his head

那一天来了，砍掉他的头

The night gets darkest right before dawn

夜晚在黎明前最黑暗

What don't kill you makes you more strong

什么都不能杀死你，反而让你更强

You'll have my mercy, then when you're gone

你会得到我的怜悯，然后你就走了

The nights go on

夜晚继续

Waiting for a light that never comes

等待那永远不会来的光

I chase the sun

我追逐太阳

Waiting for a light that never comes

Lightning above and a fire below me

You can not catch me, can not hold me
