Who Is It


I gave her money
I gave her time
I gave her everything
Inside one heart could find
I gave her passion
My very soul
I gave her promises
And secrets so untold

And she promised me forever
And a day we'd live as one
We made our vows We'd live a life anew
And she promised me in secret
That she'd love me for all the time
It's a promise so untrue
Tell me what will I do ?

And it doesn't seem to matter
And it doesn't seem right
'Cause the will has brought No fortune
Still I cry alone at night
Don't you judge of my composure
'Cause I'm lying to myself
And the reason why she left me
Did she find someone else ?

(Who is it ?)
It is a friend of mine
(Who is it ?)
Is it my brother ?
(Who is it ?)
Somebody hurt my soul
(Who is it ?)
I can't take this stuff no more

I am the damned
I am the dead
I am the agony inside
The dying head
This is injustice
Woe unto thee
I pray this punishment
Would have mercy on me

And she promised me forever
That we'd live our life as one
We made our vows
We'd live a love so true
It seems that she has left me
For such reasons unexplained
I need to find the truth
But see what will I do ?

And it doesn't seem to matter
And it doesn't seem right
'Cause the will has brought No fortune
Still I cry alone at night
Don't you judge of my composure
'Cause I'm bothered everyday
And she didn't leave a letter
She just up and ran away

(Who is it ?)
It is a friend of mine
(Who is it ?)
Is it my brother ?
(Who is it ?)
Somebody hurt my soul
(Who is it ?)
I can't take it 'cause I'm lonely

(Who is it ?)
It is a friend of mine
(Who is it ?)
To me I'm bothered
(Who is it ?)
Somebody hurt my soul
(Who is it ?)
I can't take it 'cause I'm lonely

And it doesn't seem to matter
And it doesn't seem right
'Cause the will has brought No fortune

Still I cry alone at night
Don't you judge of my composure
'Cause I'm lying to myself
And the reason why she left me
Did she find someone else ?

And it doesn't seem to matter
And it doesn't seem right
'Cause the will has brought No fortune

Still I cry alone at night
Don't you judge of my composure
'Cause I'm bothered everyday
And she didn't leave a letter
She just up and ran away



他是谁



我给她钱财
我给她时间
我给她能够给予的一切
我给她热情
还有我的灵魂
我给她承诺
还有从未透露的秘密

她曾许诺要永远和我一起
要好得像一个人似的生活
我们曾经起誓
要过崭新的生活
她也信誓旦旦的答应
我们要相爱到永远
可这却是一个不真实的誓言
告诉我，我该如何去做

这看上去并不要紧
这看上去并不正确
因为愿望从不带来好运
我仍然夜夜哭泣
不要评价我的沉着
因为我已经开始对自己撒谎了
她离开我的原因
难道是她看上了别人？

他是谁？
是我的一位朋友吗？
他是谁？
难道是我的兄弟？
他是谁？
让我的心灵受到伤害
他是谁？
我再也无法忍受这些了

我真该死
我真是迟钝
我内心苦恼极了
我的思想已经死去
这真太不公平了
悲哀不停向你袭来
我恳求这惩罚
能够对我怜惜

她曾答应与我常厢厮守
我们也曾好得像一个人似的
我们起过誓
我们的爱情是真实的
可是现在她已离开了我
因为一些无法解释的原因
我要找到事实的真相
可我现在该如何去做？

这看上去并不要紧
这看上去并不正确
因为愿望从不带来好运
我仍然夜夜哭泣
不要评价我的沉着
因为我每日都被这烦恼所困
她没有留下信就走了
她只是就这样匆忙离开

他是谁？
是我的一位朋友吗？
他是谁？
难道是我的兄弟？
他是谁？
让我的心灵受到伤害
他是谁？
我再也无法忍受了，因为我孤单

他是谁？
是我的一位朋友吗？
他是谁？
一直让我心烦
他是谁？
让我的心灵受到伤害
他是谁？
我再也无法忍受了，因为我孤单

记得曾看过这首歌的MV，主基调很灰暗，它的配乐同样如此。内容现在已经记不清楚了，只有一些片断残存在记忆里。大致是讲述一个生活富足的年轻人，在被一种莫大的痛苦所折磨着，他虽然有了所能得到和需要的一切，但每日依然处于无边的痛苦之中。印象中还有那灰暗阴沉的天空，从开始到结束，始终作为整首歌的背景，给人很压抑的感觉。我承认，当时年少的我并没有看明白是怎么一回事，但却不知为什么，从而喜欢上了这首歌。虽然这首歌在M.J.所有作品里算不上太出名，但它的曲调和旋律都是我喜欢的，而且这种风格在M.J.的作品中也是比较少见的。如果有机会，建议还是欣赏一下它的MV。
