英语摇滚:U Turn

U Turn

 

Found your letter in the mail box today.
Wonder what it was you couldn't say to my face.
Didn't want to break down in a public place.
But I remember how you told me you need space.
You told me, you showed, me, you loved me.
But I couldn't see that in your eyes.
You know me, so tell me anything but goodbye.

(Chorus)
(U Turn) You turned around and walked away.
(U Turn) And I don't have the words to say.
(U Turn) I never saw it coming, now got me wondering how I could make you turn around.
(U Turn) Here's another lesson learned¹.
(U Turn) Just another bridge that's burned.
Just when I thought you loved me, you turned.

I finally got the nerve² to read what it said.
I had to take a moment to catch my breath³.
Now I wanted to believe the thoughts in my head.
But you were loving somebody else instead.
You told me you don't want me to be lonely.
That I should find somebody else.
But baby, you're only thinking⁴ about yourself.

(Chorus)
(U Turn) You turned around and walked away.
(U Turn) And I don't have the words to say.
(U Turn) I never saw it coming, now got me wondering how I could make you turn around.
(U Turn) Here's another lesson learned.
(U Turn) Just another bridge that's burned.
Just when I thought you loved me, you turned.

I don't really want to know if it's like that.
How could the right one put us on the wrong track⁵.
Just like braids have said, my heart is slipping⁶ through your hands.
I don't want to think about life without you.
All I ever dreamed about, thought you'd make it come true.
Help me understand cause I'm doing all I can.

U turn, u turn, u turn, u turn.
Baby, u turn.
(U Turn) You turned around and walked away.
(U Turn) And I don't have the words to say.
(U Turn) I never saw it coming, now got me wondering how I could make you turn around.
(U Turn) Here's another lesson learned.
(U Turn) Just another bridge that's burned.
