Don't Shut Me Down

A while ago I heard the sound of children's laughter
不久前孩童的笑聲縈繞耳邊
Now it's quiet, so I guess they left the park
如今寂靜無聲我猜他們已經離開公園
This wooden bench is getting harder by the hour
這條木頭長椅坐起來越來越硬
The sun is going down, it's getting dark
太陽西落夜色降臨

I realize I'm cold
寒冷將我包裹
The rain begins to pour
雨水傾倒
As I watch the windows on the second floor
當我看向二樓的窗戶
The lights are on, it's time to go
熒熒燈光在發亮是時候離開了
It's time at last to let him know
是時候要向他坦白至少讓他知道

I believe it would be fair to say
容我猜想一下
You look bewildered
你看起來有些迷茫
And you wonder why I'm here today
滿心好奇為何我如今會在此
And so you should, I would
你必會如此是我也會這樣
When I left I felt I'd had enough
現在歸來因為在外經受足夠
But in the shape and form I appear now
如今的模樣出現在你的面前
I have learned to cope
困難我學會瞭如何應對
And love and hope is why I am here now
愛和希望將我召喚

And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah
重裝上陣你將看到另一個我
I'm fired up, don't shut me down
滿腔烈火請別撲滅我的熱情
I'm like a dream within a dream that's been decoded
就如破解那層層纏繞的夢
I'm fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me down
熱血沸騰請別澆滅我的激情

I'm not the one you knew
我已不是你認識的樣子
I'm now and then combined
過去和現在已經結合
And I'm asking you to have an open mind
我希望你可以接受
I'm not the same this time around
如今這般不同模樣
I'm fired up, don't shut me down
滿腔烈火請別撲滅我的熱情

Will you leave me standing in the hall
你是將我拒之門外站在走廊
Or let me enter?
還是讓我進去
The apartment hasn't changed at all
這間公寓竟無絲毫變化
I got to say I'm glad
不得不說我很開心
Once these rooms were witness to our love
因為這房間見證了你我的愛
My tantrums and increasing frustration
我的脾氣甚至是積攢起的失望
But I go from mad
但無法控制的理性
To not so bad in my transformation
如今也向著不那麼糟糕轉變

And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah
重裝上陣你將看到另一個我
I'm fired up, don't shut me down
滿腔烈火請別撲滅我的熱情
I'm like a dream within a dream that's been decoded
就如破解那層層纏繞的夢
I'm fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me down
熱血沸騰請別澆滅我的激情

I' m not the one you knew
我已不是你認識的樣子
I'm now and then combined
過去和現在已經結合
And I'm asking you to have an open mind now
我希望你可以接受
I'm not the same this time around
如今這般不同模樣
I'm fired up, don't shut me down
熱血沸騰請別澆滅我的激情

You asked me not to leave

Well, here I am again
我來到你的面前
And I love you still and so I won't pretend
我無法掩飾我仍愛著你的事實
I have learned to cope
我也學會面對這一切
And love and hope is why I am here now
如今在此是愛與希望將我召喚
