[中文]

说你对不起，那张天使的脸

正好在你需要的时候出现

...

当我这段时间来回踱步

因为我真的相信你

坚持着，日子拖得很长

傻女孩，我应该早知道，应该早知道

我不是公主，这不是童话

我不是你会让她心动的那个人

带她上楼梯

这不是好莱坞，这只是一个小镇

在你让我失望之前，我曾是个梦想家

现在你和你的白马已经太晚了

无法再出现

...

也许我太天真，迷失在你的眼中

从来没有真正的机会

...

我的错误，我不知道要去爱

你必须努力才能占上风

...

我对你和我的梦想有很多

幸福的结局，现在我知道

我不是公主，这不是童话

我不是你会让她心动的那个人

带她上楼梯

这不是好莱坞，这只是一个小镇

在你让我失望之前，我曾是个梦想家

...

现在你和你的白马已经太晚了

无法再出现

...

而你跪在那儿

乞求原谅，乞求我

就像我一直想要的，但我很抱歉

因为我不是你的公主，这不是童话

我会找到某个人

可能真的会好好对待我

这是个大世界，那是个小镇

在我的后视镜中消失

而你和你的白马已经太晚了

现在你和你的白马已经太晚了

无法再追上我

...

哦，哇，哇，哇

试着现在追上我，哦

已经太晚了

无法再追上我

...

[英语]

Say you're sorry, that face of an angel

Comes out just when you need it to

As I paced back and forth all this time

'Cause I honestly believed in you

Holdin' on, the days drag on

Stupid girl, I should've known, I should've known

That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale

I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet

Lead her up the stairwell

This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town

I was a dreamer before you went and let me down

Now it's too late for you and your white horse

To come around

Maybe I was naive, got lost in your eyes

And never really had a chance

My mistake, I didn't know to be in love

You had to fight to have the upper hand

I had so many dreams about you and me

Happy endings, now I know

I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale

I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet

Lead her up the stairwell

This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town

I was a dreamer before you went and let me down

Now it's too late for you and your white horse

To come around

And there you are on your knees

Begging for forgiveness, begging for me

Just like I always wanted but I'm so sorry

'Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairytale

I'm gonna find someone someday

Who might actually treat me well

This is a big world, that was a small town

There in my rear-view mirror disappearing now

And it's too late for you and your white horse

Now it's too late for you and your white horse

To catch me now

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa

Try and catch me now, oh

It's too late

To catch me now

重点语法结构

• Say you're sorry, that face of an angel / Comes out just when you need it to

  ➔ 省略（ellipsis）和关系从句

  ➔ 第二行省略了一个动词，实际上是“comes out just when you need it to *come out*”。“that face of an angel”是一个描述，其中“that”用于指代先前确定的面孔。

• As I paced back and forth all this time / 'Cause I honestly believed in you

  ➔ 从属连词“as”表示时间/原因，以及“cause”（非正式的“because”）

  ➔ “as”可以表示同时发生的时间或原因。在这里，它暗示了原因 - “Because I paced...”。“'Cause”是“because”的缩写非正式版本。

• Stupid girl, I should've known, I should've known

  ➔ 缩写“should've”（should have）+过去分词

  ➔ “Should've known”使用过去完成时情态动词。 表示说话者后悔没有早点意识到某事。

• Maybe I was naive, got lost in your eyes / And never really had a chance

  ➔ 过去简单时态，连词“and”

  ➔ 动词“was”和“got”均为过去简单时态，表示过去发生的行为。“and”连接两个从句。

• My mistake, I didn't know to be in love / You had to fight to have the upper hand

  ➔ 不定式“to be”和“to have”。 过去简单否定形式“didn't know”。 情态动词“had to”。

  ➔ “To be in love”是一个不定式短语。“Had to”表达过去的义务。

• Just like I always wanted but I'm so sorry

  ➔ 一般现在时中的频率副词“always”，连词“but”

  ➔ “Always”修饰动词“wanted”。 “But”表达与前一个从句的对比

• Who might actually treat me well

  ➔ 情态动词“might”和副词“actually”

  ➔ “Might”表达可能性。 “Actually”强调某事的真相或现实。

• There in my rear-view mirror disappearing now

  ➔ 现在分词“disappearing”作为形容词，副词“now”

  ➔ “Disappearing”描述了镜子里的场景。“Now”指定了消失的时间。
