I’m out on the town
在城市中獨自閒晃,小啜幾杯
I’m at the bottom of the bottle
我是那社會底端之人
I’ve been knockin’ ’em down

But look what I found
但看看我找到了什麼
Look what I found
看看我找到了什麼
Another piece of my heart
我碎裂的心的一部分
Just layin’ on the ground
正靜靜的躺在地上
Under the foggy day
在那起大霧的日子裡
I’m lookin’ for a light
我尋找著一盞燈
And my only friend
而我唯一的摯友
Is workin’ tonight
今晚還有工作
I can’t get myself out of bed

Hear these voices in my head like a song
聽著在我腦中的聲音漸漸像首歌
But look what I found
但看看我找到了什麼
Somebody who loves me

When I met you I was blown to pieces

Heart all over the floor
