歌词与翻译

[中文]

忠诚让我付出的代价，远超这些钻石和金链

远超那些漫漫长夜，远超泪水与痛苦

当脚下的地面变得摇晃，我依然屹立不倒

我曾扶持那些背后算计我的人

我掏出了最后一分钱，给了最后一次机会

我付出了真爱，换来的却是虚伪

我握过的每一只手，可能都藏着暗箭

现在我看待信任，就像看待一个从未去过的地方

我曾赤诚相待，像把心迹刻在胸前

现在我把它深埋，让谁也无法窥探

一个男人绝不会无缘无故变得冷酷

通常是因为他爱的人让他坠入深渊

忠诚让我付出的代价，比爱情还要沉重

我向那些从未对我付出一丝一毫的人倾其所有

现在我把心紧紧藏在肋骨之下

因为忠诚让我付出的代价，比爱情还要沉重

当钱财匮乏时，连亲人都会离我而去

当门路关上时，朋友也会变得陌生

女人说着永远，眼神却盯着出口

那种痛苦会让一个真诚的人变得不计后果

我曾试图从一只已经裂开的杯子里倾倒爱意

我给了那些本不该再给的第二次机会

所以如果我的行事风格变了，别误会

我只是从那些执迷不悟的教训中成长了

我曾赤诚相待，像把心迹刻在胸前

现在我把它深埋，让谁也无法窥探

一个男人绝不会无缘无故变得冷酷

通常是因为他爱的人让他坠入深渊

忠诚让我付出的代价，比爱情还要沉重

我向那些从未对我付出一丝一毫的人倾其所有

现在我把心紧紧藏在肋骨之下

因为忠诚让我付出的代价，比爱情还要沉重

那些迷失的夜晚，再也无法挽回

那种代价，也从来没有折扣可言

你可以在我面前微笑，但我心里早已明白

伤你最深的，往往是你最亲近的人

忠诚让我付出的代价，比爱情还要沉重

我向那些从未对我付出一丝一毫的人倾其所有

现在我把心紧紧藏在肋骨之下

因为忠诚让我付出的代价，比爱情还要沉重

...

[英语]

Loyalty cost me more than these diamonds and chains

More than long nights, more than tears and pain

I stayed ten toes when the ground got weak

Held folks down who was plottin' on me

Gave my last dollar, gave my last ride

Gave real love, got fake on the other side

Every hand I shook had a blade tucked in

Now I look at trust like a place I ain't been

I wore my heart like a name on a shirt

Now I keep it buried where nobody can work

A man don't turn cold for no reason at all

Usually somebody he loved let him fall

Loyalty cost me more than love ever did

Gave my all to folks who never gave me shit

Now I keep my heart tucked under my ribs

'Cause loyalty cost me more than love ever did

Had family go missin' when the money got low

Had friends turn strange when the doors got closed

Had women say forever with one eye on the exit

That kind of pain make a real one reckless

I was pourin' from a cup that was already cracked

Givin' second chances I should've never gave back

Now if I move different, don't take it wrong

I just learned hard lessons from holdin' on too long

I wore my heart like a name on a shirt

Now I keep it buried where nobody can work

A man don't turn cold for no reason at all

Usually somebody he loved let him fall

Loyalty cost me more than love ever did

Gave my all to folks who never gave me shit

Now I keep my heart tucked under my ribs

'Cause loyalty cost me more than love ever did

Ain't no refund for the nights I lost

Ain't no discount on that kind of cost

You can smile in my face, but I already know

The ones cut deepest be the ones you hold close

Loyalty cost me more than love ever did

Gave my all to folks who never gave me shit

Now I keep my heart tucked under my ribs

'Cause loyalty cost me more than love ever did
