I Almost Do

作词 : Taylor Swift

作曲 : Taylor Swift

I bet this time of night, you’re still up

我想此刻你应仍未入眠

I bet you’re tired from a long hard week

难熬的一周已让你疲倦不已

I bet you’re sittin\'' in your chair by the window

我猜 此时你正坐在窗边

Looking out at the city, and I bet

眺望着火树银花的城市

Sometimes you wonder \''bout me

我笃定有时我的身影会掠过你的思绪

And I just wanna tell you

我只是想让你知道

It takes everything in me not to call you

光是忍住不去联系你就已耗费了我全部的力气

And I wish I could run to you

而我又多么希望我可以奔向你

And I hope you know that

希望你能知道

Every time I don’t, I almost do, I almost do

在每一次我退却的背后是我抑制了千万次的挣扎

I bet you think I either moved on or hate you

我想你一定认为我已释怀抑或是对你心怀恨意

‘Cause each time you reach out, there’s no reply

不然你每一次的靠近为何我都没有回应

I bet it never, ever occurred to you

我肯定你永远不会像我这样

That I can’t say hello to you and risk another goodbye

因为无法承受再一次的离别连个照面也不敢打

And I just wanna tell you

我只是想告诉你

It takes everything in me not to call you

我花了浑身解数才忍住不去主动走近你

And I wish I could run to you

但我又多么希望可以坦然奔向你

And I hope you know that

希望你能知道

Every time I don’t, I almost do, I almost do

在每一次我冷漠与拒绝的表面下 是我差一点就要沉沦于你的冲动

Oh, we made quite a mess, babe

我们让这一切变得一片狼藉覆水难收

It’s probably better off this way

可能现在这样才是最好的收场

And I confess, babe

但我坦白

In my dreams, you’re touching my face

在我无数的梦里你曾轻抚我的脸颊

And asking me if I want to try again with you

问我是否愿意重新开始

And I almost do

而我差一点就答应了

And I just wanna tell you

我只是想告诉你

It takes everything in me not to call you

我竭尽全力逃离不去留念你和过往回忆

And I wish I could run to you

但我又多么希望可以回头大步奔向你的怀抱

And I hope you know that

希望你能知道

Every time I don’t, I almost do, I
