Artist : Dido
song   : Life for Rent

I haven't ever really found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind that your heart ain't exactly breaking

It's just a thought, only a thought
But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
I've always thought that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone and live my life more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me
It's just a thought, only a thought
But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
Well how can I say I'm alive
If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

从未有一个地方真正被我称之为家
因为我总是那么行色匆匆
再次抱歉我并不爱你
但我并不介意你没有为此心碎
因为这只是一个念头，仅仅是一个念头
如果我的人生不属于我自己，而我也无法拥有它
那么我并不值得拥有更多
因为我所拥有的并没有什么真正属于我
我一直以为自己想要傍海而居
独自周游世界去过更简单的生活
我不知道这个梦想为何没能实现
因为其实并没有什么阻碍了我
其实这只是一个念头，仅仅是一个念头
如果我的人生不属于我自己，而我也无法拥有它
那么我并不值得拥有更多

因为我所拥有的并没有什么真正属于我
如果我的人生不属于我自己，而我也无法拥有它
那么我并不值得拥有更多
因为我所拥有的并没有什么真正属于我
当我把心灵当成盾牌而不愿卸下防备
当我如此恐惧失败以致于根本不去尝试
那我怎么能说我是活着的？
如果我的人生不属于我自己，而我也无法拥有它
那么我并不值得拥有更多
因为我所拥有的并没有什么真正属于我
如果我的人生不属于我自己，而我也无法拥有它
那么我并不值得拥有更多
因为我所拥有的并没有什么真正属于我
因为我所拥有的并没有什么真正属于我
因为我所拥有的并没有什么真正属于我
因为我所拥有的并没有什么真正属于我
