Recovery - James Arthur

Drifting through the silence Searching for guarantees Out of view, but not too far out of reach Closer to scratching at the surface You would swim before you had learned to sink And that's not as easy as you think Easy on mistakes, but no one runs to chase recovery Easy on mistakes, but cannot get a break to recover my mind And it's you, and you know, it's in front of me And it's you, and you know, it's recovery Torn in two, will you cross your fingers And try to see from my point of view? Come to, undo Cross your fingers and try to see things my way Don't stop to stare at your reflection There's no time to sit around and critique Do you see me bending over backwards? Two steps and we fall out of sync I've been trying, baby, all the fuss Take your time and know that everything is fine Stop your crying near me, it's not your mind Take your time and know that everything is fine Easy on mistakes, but no one runs to chase recovery Easy on mistakes, but cannot get a break to recover my mind And it's you, and you know, it's in front of me And it's you, and you know, it's recovery

Our room is dark, the blinds are shut tight And everything is still too much outside It may be over but not tonight I may be older but I still cry I can't stop sleeping in your clothes You can't stop calling on the phone Can't you see I'm in recovery? Just let it be, I'm in recovery I'm holding on, I know I'm almost there So don't reach out and tell me that you care I'm finally sober, I see the light The worst is over, nobody died I'm still trying to let you go Oh baby, please, leave me alone Can't you see I'm in recovery? Just let it be, I'm in recovery I know you wanna say you're sorry But I don't wanna hear that story I don't wanna be your fool anymore Can't you see I'm in recovery? Always thought you'd be the one Who always needed me My home, will be my home Suddenly, your memory And time is like an enemy, so cold Can't you see I'm in recovery? I know you wanna say you're sorry But I already heard that story And I don't wanna be your fool anymore Can't you see I'm in recovery?

就別當我驕傲 華麗的錦袍 未必襯我 亦不寄望誰被討好 自問未算識做 人若這麼易做 又怎會信 不夠好我才會更好 並未昇仙 犯下蒼生也犯過的錯 難道怕別人什麼 它能奈我何 自己傷勢自我醫 自卑一下絕對可以 哪須所有人鍾意 接受比讚美更奢侈 痛苦 給眼淚去安置 誰沒有被世間懷疑 被生活挾持 軟弱過更堅持 天知外有我知 嗯 夢自己想 用自己心血付我的帳 無謂太在乎受傷 風涼話太涼 自己傷勢自我醫 自卑一下絕對可以 哪須所有人鍾意 接受比讚美更奢侈 痛苦 給眼淚去安置 誰沒有被世間懷疑 被生活挾持 軟弱過更堅持 天知外有我知 我亦會恨我自己 為何自欺 只要是人也有缺憾美 應分歡喜 若果安慰沒意思 大哭一次就當賞賜 妄想所有人鍾意 我亦不滿我欠宗旨 痛苦 給眼淚去安置 原諒我沒那麼頑強 亦不是怕事 軟弱過更堅持 這心藥你我知 嗯
