听歌学英语:童话故事 Toni Braxton - Fairy Tale

这首歌的前奏让人有一种惊艳的感觉。从做好友时的无话不说到做恋人后的无言以对。爱情中，浪漫和激情褪去之后，我们还剩下什么？‘请不要说我们之间完了，请告诉我，一句‘我爱你’是否能让一切如初’


And if I was wrong, I know I don't deserve¹ this 如果我做错了，我不配得到这些

Or how it was supposed to end 而它又是如何结束的
Please tell me that part again 就请告诉我这一段

Now tell me what's wrong.I never meant to hurt you, no baby, ooh 现在请告诉我做错了什么，我不是故意要伤害你 亲爱的
Was it the home, the car, or darling all those things we thought we needed 是因为房子，车子，还是其他那些我们曾经认为需要的东西呢
Tell me even if it ain't true 就算这不是真的你也要告诉我
But baby please don't say we're through 但是亲爱的 永远不要说我们结束了
