歌詞中文翻譯
All cautions made, every chance was given
所有警告都說了，每個機會都給了
No effort spared to save what we had
沒有多的心力拯救我們所擁有的
All in good faith I would not hesitate
都很真誠我不會猶豫
To extend myself and lend you my hand
去延展我自己並幫你一個忙
But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way
但你就是要故作灑脫，就是要用你的方式進行
Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away
就是要當個傻子，就是要把它都丟掉
Too hard school and you thought you were here to stay
太艱苦的學校而你以為你會留下
If that were true, it wouldn’t matter anyway
如果那是真的，反正那也不重要
As tempers fade and lies forgiven
當脾氣淡去然後謊言被原諒
No cause embraced could break what we had
沒有被擁抱的理由會破壞我們所擁有的
In its place a storm is liftin’
在那裏風暴已經被解除
I would’ve thought you could be more of a man
我本來以為你會比較像個人
But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way
但你就是要故作灑脫，就是要用你的方式進行
Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away
