Mother Wound – 英语/中文 双语歌词

• 作者: Jensen McRae

歌词与翻译

[中文]

那是我们第三次约会，我们在公园里

那是三月中旬的一个星期二

我说错了话，我心里知道，我想

我读懂了你的命运，看到了你心中的伤口

你点燃了一支烟，然后我们到了我的房间

你脱掉我的衣服，我又欠你一份情

我本该知道那不是开始对话的方式

爱你让我降低了期望

爱你让我降低了期望

我本该在事情变得复杂之前就让你知道我不是圣人

爱我曾经是值得追求的高度

现在却变得低于你的期望

你度过了一个糟糕的夜晚，你的耐心已经耗尽

你当好人当得有点太久了

我读懂了你的牌，但我希望这次我错了

那是我们在一起的第三个月，你在租房子住

那是我们六月中旬的第一次争吵

我试图联系你，但我们之间无法沟通

我本该知道那不是开始对话的方式

爱你让我降低了期望

爱你让我降低了期望

我本该在事情变得复杂之前就让你知道我不是圣人

爱我曾经是值得追求的高度

爱我曾经是值得打破的规则

爱我曾经是值得拯救的生活

现在却变得低于你的期望

...

[英语]

It was our third date, and we were in the park

It was a Tuesday in the middle of March

I said the wrong thing, I knew it in my heart, I guess

I read your fortune, I saw the mother wound

You lit a cigarette, then we were in my room

You took my clothes off, I was in debt to you again

I should've known that was no way to start a conversation

Loving you lowered my expectations

Loving you lowered my expectations

I should've shown you I'm no saint before it got complicated

Loving me went from a high worth chasing

To something lower than your expectations

You had a bad night, and your patience was gone

You'd been the good guy for a little too long

I read your cards right, but I wish I'd been wrong for once

It was our third month, you were renting a room

It was our first fight in the middle of June

I tried to reach you, there was no getting through for us

I should've known that was no way to start a conversation

Loving you lowered my expectations

Loving you lowered my expectations

I should've shown you I'm no saint before it got complicated

Loving me went from a high worth chasing

Loving me went from a rule worth breaking

Loving me went from a life worth saving

To something lower than your expectations
