Couldn't bear another day without you in it

我生命的一切喜悦

All of the joy that I had known for all my life

自你逝去之时

Was stripped away from me the minute that you died

便被悉数剥夺殆尽

To have you in my life was all I ever wanted

我一生夙愿便是与你相伴

But now without you I'm a soul forever haunted

Can't help but feel that I had taken you for granted

你已成为我生命中的部分

No way in Hell that I can ever comprehend this

I wasn't dreaming when they told me you were gone

当我得知你的死讯，我并不在梦乡

I was wide awake and feeling that they had to be wrong

尽管如此我觉得他们一定弄错了什么

How could you leave me when you swore that you would stay

你既许诺将伴我左右，怎么能就此离去？

Now I'm trapped inside a nightmare every single f'ing day

It's like a movie but there's not a happy ending

就像是悲剧电影一般

Every scene fades black and there's no pretending

每个场景都化作黑色

This little fairy tale doesn't seem to end well

There's no knight in shining armor who will wake me from the spell

没有穿着铮亮盔甲的骑士，能把我从魔咒束缚中解脱

I know you didn't plan this

我心知这些并非你所愿

You tried to do what's right

But in the middle of this madness

I was sure that I would see you when I made it back home
