illicit affairs
Make sure nobody sees you leave
請確保無人看見你的離去
Hood over your head
遮蔽你的頭
Keep your eyes down
將視野垂向地面
Tell your friends you're out for a run
你告訴你的朋友你外出只是為了去跑步
You'll be flushed when you return
可當你回來的時候面龐卻泛紅
Take the road less traveled by
行於窮鄉僻壤的路途中
Tell yourself you can always stop
你告訴自己說你便能夠隨時停住腳步
What started in beautiful rooms
由美麗房間鋪展開的故事
Ends with meetings in parking lots
卻終止於停車場內
其間萌生出風流隱情
And that's the thing about illicit affairs
以及見不得人的私會
And clandestine meetings
以及互相渴望的凝眸
And longing stares
而這些皆萌生於驚鴻一瞥見
It's born from just one single glance
但這份感情卻令我背負苦痛
But it dies and it dies and it dies
無數次
...a million little times
將香水留在櫃架上
那款是你為他精心挑選的
Leave the perfume on the shelf
所以你這般無跡可尋地離開了
That you picked out just for him
彷彿你從未存在過一般
So you leave no trace behind
淺嚐這動人心弦的話語
Like you don't even exist
愈漸式微變幻莫測的快感
Take the words for what they are
這種攝人魂魄的”毒癮“
A dwindling, mercurial high
僅起作用於起初邂逅的數百次內
A drug that only worked
其間萌生出風流隱情
The first few hundred times
以及見不得人的私會
以及互相渴望的凝眸
And that's the thing about illicit affairs
他們僅對彼此吐露真心一次
And clandestine meetings
但隨即便被掩埋於無盡的謊言中
And stolen stares
無法再重燃愛火
They show their truth one single time
你欲圖驚叫別喚我為懂事的孩童
But they lie and they lie and they lie
別喚我為你親愛的
...a million little times
看看你令我陷入混沌之中無法逃脫
你以花言巧語的絢爛蒙蔽我的雙眼我無法再看清世界中的其他人
And you wanna scream Don't call me kid
別喚我為懂事的孩童
Don't call me baby
別喚我為你親愛的
Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me
看看你令我變成了感情的愚人
You showed me colors you know I can't see with anyone else
你教會我神秘術語讓我無法與其他人再進行交流
Don't call me kid
對此你的所作所為你自己最清楚
Don't call me baby
為了你我將自我覆滅
Look at this idiotic fool that you made me
無數次
You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else
And you know damn well
For you I would ruin myself
...a million little times
