I wonder

You know someone said that the world’s a stage. 有人說，世界是個舞台。
And each must play a part. 每一個人都須扮演一個角色。
Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart. 命運要我演出，愛上你，把你當情人。
Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance. 在第一幕我們見面時，就對你一見鍾情。
You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue. 每句台辭你唸得很好，也未漏過一句提示
Then came act two, you seemed to change and you acted strange. 第二幕你似乎變了，演的也怪怪的。
And why, I’ll never know. 為什麼? 我永遠不明白
Honey, you lied when you said you loved me. 親愛的，你說愛我是騙我的。
And I had no cause to doubt you. 我沒有懷疑的原因。
But Id rather go on hearing your lies我倒寧願繼續聽你撒謊，
You know someone said that the world’s a stage. 有人說，世界是個舞台。
And each must play a part. 每一個人都須扮演一個角色。
Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart. 命運要我演出，愛上你，把你當情人。
Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance. 在第一幕我們見面時，就對你一見鍾情。

And I had no cause to doubt you. 我沒有懷疑的原因。
But Id rather go on hearing your lies我倒寧願繼續聽你撒謊，
Than go
on living without you. 也不願失去你而活下去。
Now the stage is bare and I’m standing there. 現在舞台上除了我外，空無一人
Now the stage is bare and I’m standing there. 現在舞台上除了我外，空無一人
With
emptiness all around. 包圍我的僅是空虛寂寞。
And if you wont come back to me. 如果你不回到我身邊，
Then make them bring the curtain down. 那就請他們把布幕拉下吧。
And if you wont come back to me. 如果你不回到我身邊，
Then make them bring the curtain down. 那就請他們把布幕拉下吧。
