Every time he goes, she dies
Setiap kali dia pergi, dia merasa seolah mati

Every time she comes, she cries
Setiap kali dia datang, dia menangis

He was her long, bright future
Dia adalah masa depan cerahnya yang panjang

In the middle of a wrong, dark road
Di tengah jalan yang salah dan gelap

He loved her, but he wasn't too sure
Dia mencintainya, tapi dia tidak begitu yakin

If he could return the love she showed
Jika dia bisa membalas cinta yang dia tunjukkan

When she said, "my love extends
Ketika dia berkata, "cintaku melampaui

Beyond the realm of being friends"
batasan sebagai teman saja"

He kissed her head
Dia mencium kepalanya

And quietly he said
Dan dengan lembut dia berkata

"It's not that you're not beautiful, you're just not beautiful to me"
"Bukan karena kamu tidak cantik, kamu hanya tidak cantik bagiku"

She said, "how beautiful do I have to be?
Dia berkata, "seberapa cantik aku harusnya?

When I look in the mirror, you're the only thing I see,
Saat aku melihat cermin, hanya dirimu yang kulihat,

And I have loved you beautifully"
Dan aku telah mencintaimu dengan indah"

Well, ten thousand tears passed by
Nah, sepuluh ribu air mata telah berlalu

But she never let him see her cry
Tapi dia tidak pernah membiarkannya melihat dia menangis

And he called up down one night
Dan suatu malam dia menelepon

He said, "let's get in the car and just drive"
Dia berkata, "ayo naik mobil dan berkendara saja"

He talked a lot about loneliness
Dia banyak bicara tentang kesepian

But why, she didn't know
Tapi kenapa, dia tidak tahu

And some song about Memphis
Dan lagu tentang Memphis

Was playin' on the radio
Sedang diputar di radio

She said, "let's stop the car and slow dance,
Dia berkata, "ayo berhenti di sini dan berdansa pelan,

Won't you just give me a chance?"
Maukah kamu memberi aku kesempatan?"

He took her hand
Dia menggenggam tangannya

And hoped she'd understand
Dan berharap dia mengerti

"It's not that you're not beautiful, you're just not beautiful to me"
"Bukan karena kamu tidak cantik, kamu hanya tidak cantik bagiku"

She said, "how beautiful do I have to be?
Dia berkata, "seberapa cantik aku harusnya?

When I look in the mirror, you're the only thing I see,
Saat aku melihat cermin, hanya dirimu yang kulihat,

And I have loved you beautifully"
Dan aku telah mencintaimu dengan indah"

Well, she'll burn that bridge
Nah, dia akan membakar jembatan itu

And build a house
Dan membangun sebuah rumah

And swallow the smoke in her mouth
Dan menelan asap di mulutnya

And she'll feel the burn
Dan dia akan merasakan panasnya

And then make the choice
Dan kemudian membuat pilihan

To put the fire in her voice
Untuk menyalakan api dalam suaranya

"It's not that you're not beautiful, you're just not beautiful to me"
"Bukan karena kamu tidak cantik, kamu hanya tidak cantik bagiku"

She said, "how beautiful do I have to be?
Dia berkata, "seberapa cantik aku harusnya?

When I look in the mirror, you're the only thing I see,
Saat aku melihat cermin, hanya dirimu yang kulihat,

And I have loved you beautifully"
Dan aku telah mencintaimu dengan indah"
