Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

I'm searching

我在寻觅

For something

追寻着

That I can't reach

我无法触及的东西

...

...

I don't like them innocent

我不喜欢他们太纯真

I don't want no face fresh

我不要青涩的脸庞

Want them wearing leather

想要他们穿着皮衣

Begging, let me be your taste test"

乞求着，“让我成为你的试验品”

I like the sad eyes, bad guys

我喜欢忧郁的眼神，坏坏的男孩

Mouth full of white lies

满嘴都是谎言

Kiss me in the corridor

在走廊里吻我

But quick to tell me goodbye

却又急着跟我说再见

You say that you're no good for me

你说你对我来说并不好

'Cause I'm always tugging at your sleeve

因为我总是拉着你的袖子

And I swear I hate you when you leave

我发誓你离开的时候我恨你

But I like it anyway

但我还是喜欢这样

My ghost

我的幽灵

Where'd you go?

你去了哪里？

I can't find you in the body sleeping next to me

我无法在睡在我身边的躯体里找到你

My ghost

我的幽灵

Where'd you go?

你去了哪里？

What happened to the soul that you used

你曾经拥有的灵魂发生了什么事？

To be?

To be?

You're a Rolling Stone boy

你是个浪子男孩

Never sleep alone boy

从不独自入睡

Got a million numbers

有成千上万的号码

And they're filling up your phone, boy

塞满了你的手机，男孩

I'm off the deep end, sleeping

我已深陷，整夜沉睡

All night through the weekend

整个周末都在睡

Saying that I love him but

说着我爱他，但

I know I'm gonna leave him

我知道我会离开他

You say that you're no good for me

你说你对我来说并不好

'Cause I'm always tugging at your sleeve

因为我总是拉着你的袖子

And I swear I hate you when you leave

But I like it anyway

Where'd you go?

What happened to the soul that you used
