If I was the north wind, would you stop and shoot the breeze?
And if I was a mirror, you would get close as you could be
If I was a candle would you hold me gently?
But if I was to love you, oh, you would run away from me
(Yes you would)
The water in the most was high to help protect the queen
And I was on the other side with a drawbridge in between
I waited at the gate but you were never to be seen
And bridges burn much easier if you're using kerosene
And I would hold my own
Just to ascend that throne
只为登上那王座
Though all my friends at home
尽管我所有的朋友
Tell me I'm better off alone
告诉我一个人更好
And all the tales you told
而你讲的那些故事
About true love got old
关于真爱的故事老了
'Cause in the end you showed me
因为到最后你让我明白
How your love was so, so cold, baby, ow
你的爱是如此冷酷，宝贝，哦
Seven days a week, I call you just to hear you say
一周七天，我打电话只为听你说
"Boy, I've got a thing for you but there really is no way"
"宝贝，我对你很有感觉，但真的没办法"
Even so I know you love me more and more each day
即便如此，我知道你每天都越来越爱我
You tell me I'm the only one when your boyfriend is away (oh no)
And I would hold my own
And I would stand proud
Just to ascend that throne
Just to reach that crown
Though all my friends at home
Tell me I'm better off alone
And all the tales you told
And all the stories you shared
About true love got old
About true love grew weary
'Cause in the end you showed me
Because in the end you revealed to me
How your Love was so, so cold, baby
I don't know what I was thinking
I should've listened to you guys
But I promise that the next time
I'll never let this happen
Better off alone (don't wanna be alone)
Better off alone (don't wanna be alone)
Better off alone (don't wanna be alone)
Better off alone (don't wanna be alone)
Better off alone (don't wanna be alone)
Better off alone (don't wanna be alone)
Better off alone (don't wanna be alone)
Better off alone
