咖啡

太浓了吧
否则怎会苦的说不出话
每次都一个人在自问自答
我们的爱到底还在吗

已经淡了吧
多放些糖也很难有变化
不如喝完这杯就各自回家
别坐在对面欣赏我的挣扎

一场失败的爱情像个笑话
热的时候心乱如麻
冷了以後看见自己够傻
人怎麽会如此容易无法自拔

一场无味的爱情像个谎话
甜的时後只相信它
苦了以後每一句都可怕
人怎麽会如此难以了无牵挂

Coffee

The flavor’s too strong, isn’t it,
Or else why would it be so bitter we can’t speak?
Everytime, I’m all alone, asking myself
“Is our love really still there?”

Or maybe the flavor’s already gone,
Even if we put in more sugar it wouldn’t get any better.
Maybe it’s best that after drinking this cup, we each go our own way
Don’t sit across from me and enjoy my suffering!

Chorus:
A failed love is like a joke,
When it was hot, I couldn’t get my mind to think properly.
But after it cooled down I see that I was so stupid..
Why do people get trapped so easily?

A flavorless love is like a lie,
When it’s sweet, you only believe in it.
After it becomes bitter, every sentence is torture..
Why is it so hard for people to stop being attached?

Here coffee is a metaphor for love, in case there is confusion about the meaning of the lyrics. Enjoy! A lot of misspellings in the original, I can’t do anything about that though =P
