Dear John 写给 John

Dear John 这首歌有点像一封邮件，这是你将给和你曾经是朋友的人发送的最后一封邮件。通常人们写这最后一封邮件宣泄情感，在邮件中写他们想对那个人倾诉的一切，而且人们通常不会把这封邮件发出去。我想通过把这首歌放在专辑中的方式来把它发送出去。


Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you
Counting my footsteps, praying the floor won't fall through again
And my mother accused me of losing my mind
But I swore I was fine
曾经的夜晚如此漫长
我的日子那时曾围绕着你而转
数着我的脚步
祈祷地面不会再一次沉陷
我的母亲责备我失去理智
而我保证，我还好

You paint me a blue sky
And go back and turn it to rain
And I lived in your chess game but you changed the rules everyday
Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone tonight
Well I stopped picking up and this song is to let you know why
你为我描绘了湛蓝的天空
但随后就把它变得阴雨连绵
我生活在你的象棋游戏中
但你每一天都在改变规则
我想知道在今晚的电话中会是哪个版本的你
不过，我也不会再接电话
这首歌将告诉你这是为什么

Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
I should have known
亲爱的 John，你的离去使我看透了一切
难道你不认为我还太年轻，不该被卷入你的游戏
那个穿裙子的女孩，在回家的路上一直哭泣
我本该知道

Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame
Maybe it's you and your sick need to give love and take it away
And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand
And I'll look back and regret how I ignored when they said run as fast as you can
可能过错在于我，在于我盲目的乐观
也许过错在于你
在于你恶心的需求，给我爱然后又把爱带走
你会把我的名字加入到长长的背叛者名单之中
而身处其中的她们还不明白
回首过去
我后悔我是怎样忽略掉他们说的那句话
“尽快离开他！”

Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
亲爱的 John，你的离去使我看透了一切
难道你不认为我还太年轻，不该被卷入你的游戏
那个穿裙子的女孩，在回家的路上一直哭泣

Dear John, I see it all now, it was wrong
Don't you think nineteen's too young
To be played by your dark twisted games
When I loved you so
I should have known
亲爱的 John，我看透了一切，看透了错误的过去
难道你不认为十九岁还太年轻
不该被卷入你黑暗、扭曲的游戏
而我却深爱着你
我早该知道

You are an expert at sorry
And keeping lines blurry
Never impressed by me acing your tests
All the girls that you've run dry have tired, lifeless eyes
Cause you burned them out
But I took your matches before fire could catch me
So don't look now
I'm shining like fireworks over your sad empty town
你是说道歉的专家
说着模棱两可的话语
一次次成功通过你对我的考验
而我却从未得到过你的尊重
被你榨干泪水的女孩
流露出疲惫和濒死的眼神
因为你已将她们燃烧殆尽
但在火烧到我这里之前
我拿走了你的火柴
所以，现在不要看
我就像焰火一样
照亮你死寂的城市

Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress wrote you a song
You should have known
You should have known
亲爱的 John，你的离去使我看透了一切
难道你不认为我还太年轻，不该被卷入你的游戏
那个穿裙子的女孩，在回家的路上一直哭泣
你的离去使我看透了一切
难道你不认为我还太年轻，不该被卷入你的游戏
那个穿裙子的女孩，给你写了一首歌
你本该知道
你早该知道

Don't you think I was too young?
You should have known
难道你不认为我还太年轻？
你早就该知道
