歌词与翻译

[中文]

当她心碎时，她会打电话给我

让我把前门敞开

我回到家发现她在抽烟

眼神脆弱而空洞

她总是对希望不抱希望

总是无法很好地应对

我永远不知道她何时在开玩笑

她从不让任何人走进她的内心

我知道我是个傻瓜，让她偷走了我的心

她永远不会厌倦这些游戏

爱她就像在黑暗中玩接球游戏

我是一片火海中的一滴泪

在一个星期三，我们会喝得太多

她会问我为什么她的男人都留不住

我告诉她她朋友说的话

这些话总是不受欢迎

她会一直待到深夜

但她总是在到来或离开

她从不决定相信

那些非常了解她的人

我知道我是个傻瓜，让她偷走了我的心

她永远不会厌倦这些游戏

爱她就像在黑暗中玩接球游戏

我是一片火海中的一滴泪

她说如果我们到40岁还单身

我们就结婚搬到乡下去

但我知道她永远不会想要我

然后是凌晨五点十五分

我打哈欠时伸手去够她

她毫无征兆地离开了我

...

[英语]

Well she calls me up when she's broken

Says to leave my front door open

I come home to find her smoking

With her eyes all fragile and thin

She's always been hopeless at hoping

Always coped badly with coping

And I never know when she's joking

She never lets anyone in

I know I'm a fool to let her run away with my heart

And she'll never tire of these games

Loving her is like playing catch in the dark

I'm a tear drop in an ocean of flames

And we'll drink too much for a wednesday

She'll ask me why none of her men stay

I tell her just what her friends say

It never goes down too well

And she'll stay hear til late in the evening

But she's always arriving or leaving

She never decides to believe in

The people who know her so well

I know I'm a fool to let her run away with my heart

And she'll never tire of these games

Loving her is like playing catch in the dark

I'm a tear drop in an ocean of flames

Well, she says if we're single at 40

We'll get married and move to the country

But I know she'll never want me

Then it's five fifteen in the morning

I reach for her whilst I'm yawning

She leaves me with no warning
