Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

I have this thing where I get older, but just never wiser

我有种怪癖，年纪渐长，却从未变得更睿智

Midnights become my afternoons

午夜变成了我的午后

When my depression works the graveyard shift

当我的抑郁症上了夜班

All of the people I've ghosted stand there in the room

所有我放过鸽子的人，都站在房间里

I should not be left to my own devices

我不应该被放任自流

They come with prices and vices

它们伴随着代价和恶习

I end up in crises

最终我陷入危机

Tale as old as time

古老的传说

I wake up screaming from dreaming

我从梦中惊醒，尖叫着

One day I'll watch as you're leaving

总有一天我会看着你离开

'Cause you got tired of my scheming

因为你厌倦了我的算计

For the last time

最后一次

It's me

是我

Hi!

嗨！

I'm the problem, it's me

问题是我，就是我

At teatime

在下午茶时间

Everybody agrees

大家一致认为

I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror

我会直视太阳，却从不敢照镜子

It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

一直支持反英雄，一定很累吧

...

...

Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby

有时我觉得每个人都魅力四射

And I'm a monster on the hill

而我是山上的怪物

Too big to hang out

太庞大，无法融入

Slowly lurching toward your favorite city

缓慢地向你最爱的城市蹒跚而去

Pierced through the heart but never killed

利箭穿心，却死不了

Did you hear my covert narcissism

你听到我隐秘的自恋了吗

I disguise as altruism?

我伪装成利他主义？

Like some kind of congressman

像某种国会议员

Tale as old as time

古老的传说

I wake up screaming from dreaming

我从梦中惊醒，尖叫着

One day, I'll watch as you're leaving

总有一天，我会看着你离开

And life will lose all its meaning

而生活将失去所有的意义

For the last time

最后一次

It's me

是我

Hi!

嗨！

I'm the problem, it's me (I'm the problem, it's me)

问题是我，就是我 (问题是我，就是我)

At teatime

...

I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money

我做了个梦，我的儿媳妇为了钱杀了我

She thinks I left them in the will

她以为我在遗嘱里留了东西给他们

The family gathers 'round and reads it

家人聚在一起宣读遗嘱

And then someone screams out

然后有人尖叫着

"She's laughing up at us from hell!"

It's me
