Sat on the rooftop

独自坐在房顶

Watching the birds flying free

看着无羁飞鸟

Watching the clouds walk

看着云捲云舒

And watching the rain become the sea

看着雨汇成海

Hearing my love talk

听到爱的细语

Every breath she ever breathes

她的每下呼吸声

Like it was always supposed to be like that

一如既往地令人心安

But then we broke up

但是我们之后分手了

And she went west and I went east

我们之间各奔东西

She got a new boyfriend

她另觅爱人

A little too soon if you're asking me

如果你问起我，事情的确是发展得太快

I heard that she loves him

听说她深爱着他

A litte bit more than she'll ever love me

比起我来更加深情

And it was always supposed to be like that

或许这就应是这一切的结局

I look to the skyline

望向地平线我说

And said how many falls until I fly

要经过多少次坠落才能学会放手看开

Look to the old times and said

回首过去我说

How many roads until I find

要途涉多少条道路才能找到出口

And oh it's tough now

而现在一切都更显艰难

Cause love always, love always is unkind

只因爱总是不近人情

I sat on the rooftop

独自坐在房顶

And I watched the birds flying free

看着无羁飞鸟

I watched the clouds walk

看着云捲云舒

And I watched the rain become the sea

看着雨汇成海

And just for a moment, just for a moment

而就在那一刻

I felt so free from all I'm supposed to be

顺着事情本应发展的脉络 我忽然心感释怀

I look to the skyline and said

望向地平线我说

How many falls until I fly

要经过多少次坠落才能学会放手看开

Look to the old times I said

回首过去我说

How many roads until I find

要途涉多少条道路才能找到出口

And oh it's tough now

而现在一切都更显艰难

Cause love always, love always is unkind

只因爱总是不近人情
