You should've been there
本该是此情此景
Should've burst through the door
你面露微笑地推门而入
With that 'baby I'm right here' smile
伴随着那句 “亲爱的 我在这”
And it would've felt like
而那片刻间就像是
A million little shining stars had just aligned
千万闪烁星辰 行列排布在天际
And I would've been so happy
那样我本该是多么幸福

Christmas lights glisten
圣诞彩灯耀眼
I've got my eye on the door
我目不转睛地盯着那扇门
Just waiting for you to walk in
迫不及待等候你的出现
But the time is ticking
然而时间仍流逝着
People ask me how I've been
有人询问我近况如何
As I comb back through my memory
当我回溯到往昔的思潮
How you said you'd be here
你当初都答应我会来的
You said you'd be here
你曾说过会回来的

And it was like slow motion
就像是电影慢镜头
Standing there in my party dress
我身着礼服站着
In red lipstick
嘴唇红艳动人
With no one to impress
而我等待的人 并未出现
And they're all laughing
亲友脸上都洋溢着幸福的笑容
As I'm looking around the room
而正当我环顾四周
But there's one thing missing
突然觉得心中若有所失
And that was the moment I knew
也是直至那时 我才恍然大悟

And the hours pass by
随着时间流逝
Now I just wanna be alone
现在我只想要独处
But your close friends always seem to know
而朋友们总能够察觉到
When there's something really wrong
你情绪崩溃后的异样
So they follow me down the hall
于是他们陪着我走过走廊
And there in the bathroom
来到洗手间
I try not to fall apart
本想竭力克制住情绪
And the sinking feeling starts
但却倍感压抑
As I say hopelessly
我绝望地说道
"He said he'd be here."
“他都答应过我会来的”

And it was like slow motion
就像是电影慢镜头
Standing there in my party dress
我身着礼服站着
In red lipstick
嘴唇红艳动人
With no one to impress
而我等待的人 并未出现
And they're all laughing
亲友的脸上都洋溢着幸福的笑容
And asking me about you
询问着我你的近况
But there was one thing missing
我却突然觉得心中若有所失
And that was the moment I knew
也是直至那时 我才恍然大悟

What do you say
你该会是多么窘迫
When tears are streaming down your face
在众目睽睽下 不争气的眼泪
In front of everyone you know?
从面庞滚滚滑落
And what do you do when the one
你该是多么绝望无助
Who means the most to you
当对你而言意义非凡的那人
Is the one who didn't show?
仍缺席未到

You should've been here
你本该来的
And I would've been so happy
那样我该多么高兴

And it was like slow motion
就像是电影慢镜头
Standing there in my party dress
我身着礼服站着
In red lipstick
嘴唇红艳动人
With no one to impress
而我等待的人 并未出现
And they're all standing around me singing
亲朋好友朝我围过来 为我高歌庆祝道
"Happy birthday to you"
“祝你生日快乐”
But there was one thing missing
但我心中却若有所失
And that was the moment I knew
也是直至那时 我才恍然大悟

Ooh, I knew
我恍然大悟
Ooh

You called me later
你随后给我来电
And said, "I'm sorry, I didn't make it,"
满怀歉意说道：“我很抱歉 没履行诺言”
And I said, "I'm sorry too,"
我答道：“我也很抱歉”
And that was the moment I knew
直至那时 我才恍然大悟
