Birthday / The Pain - For Those I Love.mp3

[00:00.00] 作曲 : David Andrew Balfe
[00:16.91] I keep giving up on love
[00:19.85] Running away
[00:48.31] Body dumped on me road
[00:49.53] When I was six
[00:50.51] Stabbed to death and left on the bricks
[00:52.71] No training that week
[00:53.85] My coach couldn't speak
[00:55.54] Blood on his hands as the man died at his feet
[00:58.26] And me
[00:59.32] I stood at the scene
[01:00.61] No sheets to block the bodies we dream
[01:02.52] They stay evergreen
[01:04.01] Senior infants show and tell
[01:05.90] What did ya do the weekend, are ya well?
[01:07.88] Stand in front of the class as they ask
[01:10.15] Ya tell them you looked at the blood left on the road,
[01:12.49] from the man who slept in the field outside your window
[01:15.59] Got thrown out of a car with a knife through his heart
[01:18.16] In the morning stars
[01:19.55] Terrified
[01:20.60] I went quiet and I stood
[01:22.32] And I started to run from love
[01:24.20] 'Cause you're told
[01:24.89] You need to grow cold to grow old
[01:27.10] I was 7, in that same field beside me gaff
[01:29.58] Kicking through the leaves and the grass
[01:31.37] Until two garda rock up batons in hand
[01:33.89] And leave ya crying for your Mam
[01:35.75] And this is no dramatics
[01:37.49] This is no tales of 90's classics
[01:39.90] You spend your whole life being brave
[01:41.93] And you hope things will change
[01:43.70] So don't ****ing ask me why I don't want to age
[01:46.35] It just marks the time of things staying the same
[01:48.81] But the songs sound fun, and you dance with your mates
[01:50.87] And it's grand then
[01:51.56] Until the next day
[01:52.82] I keep giving up on love
[01:55.85] Running away
[02:24.50] Then you're 9, 10, and 11
[02:26.39] In the same place the garda got ya at 7
[02:29.02] Takin' the sides off trains with stones
[02:32.02] We did that 'cause we were broke
[02:34.14] We did that 'cause we had no hope
[02:35.58] Or place to go
[02:36.39] Or well
[02:37.44] We did that 'cause we didn't say no 20 years ago
[02:40.28] And it still comes out still when we get vocal
[02:42.45] Singing in the local
[02:43.96] A lonely feeling came over me stealing
[02:46.84] Some sober as a judge
[02:48.24] The other boys out the nut
[02:49.80] And all of us dancing like there's no one left in the world but us
[02:53.41] And these days it feels like there isn't
[02:55.46] There's no way to put that loss into words
[02:58.20] But we'll wrap arms around shoulders and scream love from our lungs
[03:02.01] We'll escape to Friday football and hugs
[03:04.57] And tell tales of nights and days spent in teenage fun
[03:07.79] 'Cause the world is a cruel, cruel place without the love
[03:11.54] So we'll spend the rest of our life being brave
[03:14.37] And hope that things will change
[03:16.35] And age will still mark the time in the same way
[03:19.63] But I'll hold on a little tighter
[03:21.81] To the love of my mates
[03:24.35] Forever and a day
[03:28.85] I keep giving up on love
[03:32.11] Running away
[04:00.37] I know, I know whispering words of freedom
[05:12.89] It's been a while since I've seen your face
[05:26.07] I can't face the day
