[00:00.000] 作词 : Mikel Jollett [00:01.000] 作曲 : Mikel Jollett [00:03.673]They say it’s so much better to have loved and lost [00:07.665]Than to have lived in a bubble, never knowing the cost [00:11.916]Of a broken heart like a loaded gun, it scares everyone [00:17.170]Everyone, everyone [00:19.162]Everyone tells me the same thing every day [00:23.921]“You’re wasting your time, just wasting away [00:28.173]There’s a hole in your heart, just go fill it with love” [00:32.864]But what is love? What is love? What is love? [00:36.106]What is this thing I’ve been told since thirteen-years-old [00:40.364]Where you feel understood, undeniably good? [00:44.357]It’s a stain on your sneaker, a hole in your speaker [00:48.598]A feeling apart when you’ve emptied your heart [00:52.606]She’s at the upstairs windowpane [00:55.111]As the young boy cries in the rain [01:00.858]She’ll never know the power she wields [01:04.857]As the thunder falls on his ears [01:09.114]And he tells himself, “Never again” [01:17.110]All these engagements and lover’s spit [01:20.859]As they grasp at a future and promise it [01:24.860]Will be joyful and fruitful, “We’re better as two” [01:29.110]And I cried too, I cried too, I cried too [01:32.356]I cried hoping you’d hear me and see right through [01:37.121]All the endless denial I gave to you [01:41.110]I was childishly hoping you’d pull me through [01:45.113]I want it too, want it too, want it too [01:49.497]Want it to change me and lift me, explain me and give me [01:53.751]A moment of time, less alone in my mind [01:57.496]When I felt so strange, you would hold me and say [02:01.502]“I’m stranger than you can imagine, it’s true [02:05.501]And I’m yours and I’m yours and I’m here [02:10.000]And I swear there’s nothing to fear” [02:13.997]So the young woman lies on the bed [02:18.000]While the young man hears lies in his head [02:22.243]And there’s no one there and nothing left to be said [02:30.248]All these engagements and lover’s spit [02:34.258]All these engagements and lover’s spit [02:38.267]All these engagements and lover’s spit [02:42.004]Oh, they grasp for it, they beg for it [02:44.756]They smother it and cling to it [02:46.752]All these engagements and lover’s spit [02:50.747]All these engagements and lover’s spit [02:54.265]All these engagements and lover’s spit [02:58.247]Oh, they grasp for it, they beg for it, they smother it and cling to it [03:02.994]Love is kind (all these engagements and lover's spit) [03:06.512]Love is fair (all these engagements and lover's spit) [03:10.755]Love is real (all these engagements and lover's spit) [03:14.506]Love is true (oh, they grasp for it, they beg for it) [03:18.438](They smother it and cling to it) [03:19.191]I was wrong (all these engagements and lover's spit) [03:22.701]I held on (all these engagements and lover's spit) [03:26.940]I held on (all these engagements and lover's spit) [03:30.443]I waited for you (all these engagements and lover's spit) [03:35.199]To be whole (all these engagements and lover's spit) [03:38.944]To be whole (all these engagements and lover's spit) [03:43.192]To be whole (all these engagements and lover's spit) [03:47.197]To be whole (oh, they grasp for it, they beg for it, they smother it and cling to it)
