歌词赏析:
You should've been there
你应该在这里
Should've burst through the door
应该突然出现在我的门前
With that ' baby I'm right here ' smile
上扬的嘴角诉说着“亲爱的,我在”
And it would've felt like
而我,应该有这样的感觉
A million little shining stars had just aligned
满天的星星闪烁成一条美丽的弧线
And I would've been so happy
我应该,很快乐的
Christmas lights glisten
圣诞的彩灯有些刺眼
I've got my eye on the door
我的目光无法离开那扇门
Just waiting for you to walk in
只为等待熟悉的身影出现
But the time is ticking
指针滴滴答答的旋转
People ask me how I've been
朋友们简单的问候
As I come back through my memory
而我却在回忆中恍惚
How you said you'd be here
你说过,你会在这里
You said you'd be here
你说,你会在我的身边
And it was like slow motion
画面像是慢动作在上演
Standing there in my party dress
我穿着礼服站在那里
In red lipstick
唇如玫瑰般鲜艳
With no-one to impress
那个应该要看见的人,却没有出现
And they're all laughing
朋友们的脸上洋溢着喜悦
As I'm looking around the room
我搜寻着房间的每一个角落
But there's one thing missing
却看不见那个熟悉的身影
And that was the moment I knew
那一刻,我突然懂了
And the hours pass by
时间流逝
Now I just wanna be alone
我只想一个人静静的待着
But your close friends always seem to know when there's something really wrong
但最亲近的朋友总能发现情绪细微的转变
So they follow me down the hall
他们跟着我躲进走廊
And there in the bathroom
冰冷的洗手间
I try not to fall apart
使尽全力不让自己崩溃
And the sinking feeling starts
但却无法阻止情绪滑向深渊
As I say hopelessly
言语中无法掩饰的绝望
He said he'd be here
他说过,他会在我的身边
And it was like slow motion
画面像是慢动作在上演
Standing there in my party dress
我穿着礼服站在那里
In red lipstick
唇如玫瑰般鲜艳
With no-one to impress
那个应该要看见的人,却没有出现
And they're all
朋友们的脸上洋溢着喜悦
And asking me about you
询问着
But there's one thing missing
那个没有出现的你
And that was the moment I knew
那一刻,我突然懂了
What do you say
该如何解释
When tears are streaming down your face
当泪水滑过嘴角
In front of everyone you know?
所有的人都看见
And what do you do
该怎么做
When the one who means the most to you
当对你最重要的人
Is the one who didn't show?
就是那个没有出现的笑脸
You should've been here
你应该在这里
And I would've been so happy
而我,应该要很快乐的
And it was like slow motion
画面像是慢动作在上演
Standing there in my party dress
我穿着礼服站在那里
In red lipstick
唇如玫瑰般鲜艳
With no-one to impress
那个应该要看见的人,却没有出现
And they're all standing around me singing
朋友们祝福的歌声将我环绕
Happy Birthday to you
生日快乐
But there's one thing missing
却听不见那个熟悉的声音
And that was the moment I knew
那便是我明白的瞬间
Ooh, I knew
我懂了
You call me later
来电显示上闪烁着你的名字
And say I'm sorry I didn't make it
你说,对不起,我没有守约
And I say I'm sorry too
我说,我很抱歉
And that was the moment I knew
那便是我明白的瞬间
