You know the bed feels warmer
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in colour
And do the things I want
You think you got the best of me
Think you had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I'd come running back
Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong
( What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone) [Chorus]*
You heard that I was starting over with someone new
They told you I was moving on over you
You didn't think that I'd come back
I'd come back swinging
You tried to break me, but you see
[Chorus]*
Thanks to you I got a new thing started
Thanks to you I'm not a broken hearted
Thanks to you I'm finally thinking bout me
You know in the end the day to left was just my beginning
In the end...
[Chorus]*
Giải thích:
1.Bet you think that everything good is gone, think you left me broken down, think that I'd come running back:
To be gone: biến mất, đi xa, chết, lụi tàn.
Left: Là dạng quá khứ của động từ 'leave'. Leave: ở đây là ngoại động từ: Để lại, bỏ lại. Break down: Làm vỡ nát, sụp đổ. Leave someone broken down: Làm ai đó đau khổ, tan nát, suy sụp.
2.Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong :
Dead wrong: Hoàn toàn sai.
Cause: Là dạng tiếng lóng của 'because'- bởi vì
3.You heard that I was starting over with someone new.
Ở đây có sử dụng câu gián tiếp. Nếu mệnh dùng câu trực tiếp câu sẽ được nói : You heard 'She is starting over with someone new' (Anh nghe người ta nói: 'Cô ấy đang bắt đầu lại với một người mới'). Câu gián tiếp thì sẽ bị lùi về một thì. Ở đây thì hiện tại tiếp diễn (is starting) về quá khứ tiếp diễn (was starting). Và ngôi, trạng ngữ sẽ được thay thế sao cho hợp lý.
Start over: bắt đầu lại
