[Chinese]

我没事，别相信

你了解我，知道那是谎言

我很崩溃，难以启齿

我快撑不住了

我现在需要你，需要你，别走开

我现在需要你，求你别拒绝我

我需要你，我需要你

逃离这让我眩晕的地方

几乎不可能慢下来

只要你陪伴一晚

或许就能让我安全

时钟滴答，引线在燃烧

我无法停止担心即将到来的

别拒绝我，别拒绝我

我多少次这样脆弱地来到你面前？

我知道你有权质疑，但请别问

时钟滴答，引线在燃烧

我无法停止担心即将到来的

别拒绝我，别拒绝我

我无法停止担心即将到来的

我没事，别相信

你了解我，知道那是谎言

我很崩溃，难以启齿

我快撑不住了

我现在需要你，需要你，别走开

我现在需要你，求你别拒绝我

我需要你，我需要你

逃离这让我眩晕的地方

几乎不可能慢下来

只要你陪伴一晚

或许就能让我安全

时钟滴答，引线在燃烧

我无法停止担心即将到来的

别拒绝我，别拒绝我

我多少次这样脆弱地来到你面前？

我知道你有权质疑，但请别问

时钟滴答，引线在燃烧

我无法停止担心即将到来的

别拒绝我，别拒绝我

我无法停止担心即将到来的

[English]

I'm fine don't believe it

You know me enough to know that's a lie

I'm close hard it is to say

To total this as I barely holding on

I need you now I need you don't turn away

I need you now please don't turn me away

I need you I need you

Out of here where I've been spinning

It's nearly impossible to slow down

One night of your company

Might be the only thing to keep me save

The clock is ticking and the fuse is turning

Can't keep wondering from what is coming

Don't turn me away don't turn me away

How many times have I come to you vulnerable like this?

I know you have the right to question but please don't ask

The clock is ticking and the fuse is turning

Can't keep wondering from what is coming

Don't turn me away don't turn me away

Can't keep wondering from what is coming

I'm fine don't believe it

You know me enough to know that's a lie

I'm close hard it is to say

To total this as I barely holding on

I need you now I need you don't turn away

I need you now please don't turn me away

I need you I need you

Out of here where I've been spinning

It's nearly impossible to slow down

One night of your company

Might be the only thing to keep me save

The clock is ticking and the fuse is turning

Can't keep wondering from what is coming

Don't turn me away don't turn me away

How many times have I come to you vulnerable like this?

I know you have the right to question but please don't ask

The clock is ticking and the fuse is turning

Can't keep wondering from what is coming

Don't turn me away don't turn me away

Can't keep wondering from what is coming

Key Grammar Structures

• I'm fine don't believe it

  ➔ 祈使句（否定）

  ➔ 这是一个否定祈使句。隐含的主语是“你”。结构是“don't”+动词(believe)。

• You know me enough to know that's a lie

  ➔ 副词“enough”+不定式

  ➔ “Enough”用作副词修饰“know”，表示理解该陈述是虚假的所需知识的程度。“To know”是一个不定式短语，起副词修饰作用。

• I'm close hard it is to say

  ➔ 省略（省略“to say”）

  ➔ 这个句子在语法上是不正确的，但风格上用于强调。“Hard it is to say”暗示“It's hard to say”（很难说）。短语“I'm close”的意思是“我接近[一些不好的事情]”。完整的句子应该是“I'm close to something bad, and it's hard to say it”（我接近一些不好的事情，而且很难说出来）。

• I need you now I need you don't turn away

  ➔ 重复以强调和否定祈使句

  ➔ 重复“I need you now”强调了请求的紧迫性。“Don't turn away”是否定祈使句，敦促听众不要拒绝说话者的恳求。

• Out of here where I've been spinning

  ➔ 带有“where”的关系从句

  ➔ “Where I've been spinning”是一个修饰“here”的关系从句。它指定了说话者所指的位置。“I've been spinning”这个短语使用现在完成进行时，表示过去开始并持续到现在或最近停止的动作。

• One night of your company Might be the only thing to keep me save

  ➔ 情态动词“might”+目的不定式

  ➔ “Might”表示一种可能性。“To keep me safe”是一个不定式短语，表达了前面陈述的目的或原因，描述了说话者希望公司能够实现的目标。

• Can't keep wondering from what is coming

  ➔ 动名词（宾语）+介词“from”+作为介词宾语的“What”从句

  ➔ “Wondering”是一个动名词，充当动词“keep”的宾语。介词“from”引入了一个以“what”开头的从句。这个“what”从句（“what is coming”）充当介词“from”的宾语。

• How many times have I come to you vulnerable like this?

  ➔ 现在完成时+疑问副词

  ➔ “Have I come”是现在完成时，表示一个过去开始且与现在相关的动作。“How many times”是一个疑问副词短语，用于询问动作的频率。
