CHVRCHES - 我们共享的母亲

...

从未站在你那边，从未提及你的名字

我紧闭双唇，直到你走哦

我们在最平静的火焰中，就像永远都不会燃尽

直到你意识到，你应该走哦

我身陷苦难，你可以像预兆一样变得古老

我们共享的母亲，永远不会让你那骄傲的头垂落

路很长，但你可以让我变得轻松

我们共享的母亲，永远不会让我们冰冷的心呼唤

在深夜，我是唯一在这里的人

我会罩着你，直到你走哦

因为如果我说出真相，我就会永远自由

带着奖赏陪着我，直到你走哦

我身陷苦难，你可以像预兆一样变得古老

我们共享的母亲，永远不会让你那骄傲的头垂落

路很长，但你可以让我变得轻松

我们共享的母亲，永远不会让我们的冷心呼唤

夜深人静，我们是唯一剩下的人

...

我赌你甚至知道，我们可以去哦

当一切都乱了，你把头放在我手中

这是你离开时的纪念品

我身陷苦难，你可以像预兆一样变得古老

我们共享的母亲，永远不会让你那骄傲的头垂落

路很长，但你可以让我变得轻松

我们共享的母亲，永远不会让我们的冷心呼唤

...

Chvrches - The Mother We Share

Never took your side, never crossed your name

I keep my lips shut tight, until you go-o-oh

We're in the calmest fire, as we're ever gonna get

Until you realize, that you should go-o-oh

I'm in misery where you can seem as old as your omens

And the mother we share will never keep your proud head from falling

The way is long but you can make it easy on me

And the mother we share will never keep our cold hearts from calling

In the dead of night, I'm the only one here

And I will cover you, until you go-o-oh

Cause if I told the truth, I will always be free

And keep a prize with me, until you go-o-oh

I'm in misery where you can seem as old as your omens

And the mother we share will never keep your proud head from falling

The way is long but you can make it easy on me

And the mother we share will never keep our cold hearts from calling

Into the night for us, we're the only ones left

I bet you even know, where we could go-o-oh

And when it all fucks up, you put your head in my hands

It's a souvenir for when you go-o-oh

I'm in misery where you can seem as old as your omens

And the mother we share will never keep your proud head from falling

The way is long but you can make it easy on me

And the mother we share will never keep our cold hearts from calling
