Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

Hey, yeah

嘿，是的

La-da-da, da-da

啦-da-da，da-da

La-la-da, da-da, da-da

啦-la-da，da-da，da-da

La-da-da-da-da, here I go again

啦-da-da-da-da，我又来了

With another love song that I wasted

又是一首我浪费的情歌

Just another love run out of patience

只是另一段爱情耗尽了耐心

She don't want it, she don't need it

她不想要，她不需要

Every other word coming from my pen

我笔下的每一个字

She throw back in my face, saying "Where you've been?"

她都反击我，问“你去哪儿了？”

I sound so poetic but it feels like I let it slip away, slip away

我听起来很有诗意，但感觉像是让它溜走了，溜走了

I wanna show my love is strong

我想证明我的爱是强烈的

Make her feel it when I'm home

让她在我回家时感受到

No faking, no mistaking

没有伪装，没有误解

She can feel me when I'm gone

她能感受到我在离开时

Actions speak louder than, speak louder than, speak louder than love songs

行动胜于言辞，胜于，胜于情歌

The melodies they carry on

旋律依然在延续

Actions speak louder than, speak louder than, speak louder than love songs

行动胜于言辞，胜于，胜于情歌

I've been doing it all wrong

我一直做错了

La-da-da-da-da, here we go again

啦-da-da-da-da，我们又来了

Just a couple of friends with some benefits

只是几个有好处的朋友

She gave me all of her love then I waste it

她给了我所有的爱，然后我浪费了

I wrote a new song, then erased it

我写了一首新歌，然后又删掉了

Oh every other thing that I've said before

哦，我之前说的每一句话

Said you don't wanna hear about it anymore

说你不想再听了

I feel so creative but it feels like there's nothing left to say, to make you stay

我感觉很有创意，但感觉没有什么可以说的，来让你留下

I wanna show my love is strong

我想证明我的爱是强烈的

Make her feel it when I'm home

让她在我回家时感受到

No faking, no mistaking

没有伪装，没有误解

She can feel me when I'm gone

她能感受到我在离开时

Actions speak louder than, speak louder than, speak louder than love songs

行动胜于言辞，胜于，胜于情歌

The melodies they carry on

旋律依然在延续

Actions speak louder than, speak louder than, speak louder than love songs

行动胜于言辞，胜于，胜于情歌

I've been doing it all wrong

我一直做错了

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da away (la-da-da-da-da)

啦-da-da-da-da，啦-da-da-da-da，走开（啦-da-da-da-da）

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da, all day

啦-da-da-da-da，啦-da-da，整天

She don't wanna hear, don't wanna hear a word I say, a word I say

她不想听，不想听我说的每一句话，每一句话

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da away (la-da-da-da-da)

She don't wanna hear, don't wanna hear a word I say, a word I say

行动胜于情歌，胜于情歌

The melodies they carry on

行动胜于爱，哇，胜于情歌

I've been doing it all wrong
