it is a razor 爱是一把剃刀
that leaves your soul to bleed 让你的灵魂流血

an endless aching need 一种无尽的带痛渴求

it is a flower 爱是一朵花
and you , its only seed 而你 则是唯一的种子

it's the dream afraid of waking 如果害怕从美梦中醒来
that never takes the chance 就永远也抓不住机会
it's the one who won't be taken 一个人如果不愿被索取
who can not seem to give 貌似也不会给予
and the soul afraid of dying 如果灵魂害怕去死
that never learns to live 就永远学不会怎么去活

when the night has been too lonely 当夜晚太过漫长
and the road has been too long 当前路太过遥远
and you think 或者当你认为
that love is only for the lucky and the strong 只有幸运者和强者才有资格得到爱的时候
just remember in the winter 你要记得
far beneath the bitter snow 在厚厚的积雪底下
lies the seed 一颗种子一直都在那里躺着
that with the sun's love 等阳光洒下
in the spring becomes the rose 春天里，它会绽放成最美的玫瑰 |
