You kept all the things I threw away
我丢掉的东西 你都还留着
A leaf I picked, a birthday card I made
像我捡的落叶 或我做的生日卡片
Holding on to memories of you and me
你不愿忘记 关于我们的回忆
We didn’t last a year, oh
一段不到一年的感情
We’re just a box of souvenirs
只剩下一箱 回忆的纪念品
‘Cause
因为

Maybe I pulled the panic cord
也许 是我拉了爱情警报线
And maybe you were happy, I was bored
也许 你乐在其中 而我无心享受
Maybe I wanted you to change
也许 我想要你改变
Maybe I’m the one to blame
也许 这都是我的错

This meant more to you than it did to me
这段感情 你看得比较重
I was full of doubt and you believed
我满心猜忌 你却坚信不疑
The more that you keep coming over
你爱得越是狂野
The more I know it’s over, dear
我越是觉得该结束了
We’re just a box of souvenirs
我们只剩下装满纪念品的盒子

And maybe I pulled the panic cord
也许 是我拉了爱情警报线
And maybe you were happy, I was bored
也许 你乐在其中 而我无心享受
Maybe I wanted you to change
也许 我想要你改变
Maybe I’m the one to blame
也许 这都是我的错

Maybe you were just too nice to me
也许 只是你对我太好了
Maybe it took me way too long to leave
也许 我仍然放不下你
Maybe once we felt the same
也许 有那么一次 我们真爱着彼此
Maybe I’m the one to blame
也许 这都是我的错
Maybe I’m the one to blame
也许 这都是我的错

Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si Do
That’s the way the story goes, oh
这就是我们的结局
Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si Do
That’s the way the story goes, oh
这就是我们的结局

And maybe I pulled the panic cord
也许 是我拉了爱情警报线
And maybe you were happy, I was bored

Maybe I wanted you to change
也许 我想要你改变
Maybe I’m the one to blame

Maybe you were just too nice to me
也许 只是你对我太好了
Maybe it took me way too long to leave

Maybe once we felt the same
也许 有那么一次 我们真爱着彼此
Maybe I’m the one to blame

关于爱情的歌曲已经数不胜数了，无论是热恋中的欢乐音乐，还是失恋的悲伤音乐，大概歌词都没什么新意了，不过我听到这首 Gabrielle Aplin 的 Panic Cord 觉得还满特别的。

歌词内容叙述一对恋人，对方一厢情愿地热恋中，自己则百般聊赖，无心经营或享受这段感情。或许爱情本来就是不公平，也是没有对与错的；投入感情较多的一方，爱得比较深，痛得也比较深，这就是爱情不变的定律。两人分手后，之前付出了多少，完全没有回报，也许最后剩下的，就只是个记忆的盒子罢了。说来心痛，但我想，只要真心爱过，或许，付出与回报已经不再重要了；当最重要的人已经不在，似乎什么都不再重要了。
