I know you-- the heartbroken.
I've been there recently
and plenty before.
I know you better than you think I do.

我懂你——傷心的人。
我最近剛傷心過，
曾經傷心過很多次。
我比你想象的更懂你。

I know heartbreak as well
as I know the taste of the ocean in my tears
and the way my breath gets stuck in my heart,
instead of my throat.

我懂得傷心的感覺，
就像我懂得眼淚中咸咸的苦澀味道，
是心無法呼吸，
而不是喉嚨無法呼吸。

I know you'd assume I would say
that I wish I didn't.
我知道你以為我會說，
我真希望沒傷心過。

I know what it's like to cry
when you wake up
and realize yesterday wasn't just a dream.
I know what it's like to walk with two feet
that don't feel like your own.
I know what it's like -- to feel alone.

我知道醒來時，
知道昨天并不是一場夢后，
痛哭是什么感覺。
我知道走路時覺得兩只腳都不是自己的，
又是什么樣子。
我知道孤單是什么樣子。

I know what it's like to be lost
but only because you're so terrified to open your eyes
and find yourself forlorn.
I know what it's like to be drunk
from your tears and sober from the pain.

我知道那種只是因為害怕睜開眼睛，
看到自己孤苦伶仃而迷失自己，
是什么樣子。
我知道被淚水灌醉，
又從痛苦中醒來是什么樣子。

I know what it's like,trust me.
I know what it's like to be a mess,
to be heartbreak's biggest success.

我知道這些都是什么感覺，
相信我。
我知道生活一團糟，
傷心到了極致是什么樣。

I know what it's like to be a fool, to be naive.
I know what it's like to lose my dignity
and misplace my faith.
I know what it's like to miss my laugh
and forget my smile.

我知道愚蠢、幼稚是什么樣。
我知道失去自尊、喪失信任是什么樣。
我知道不再大笑、忘記笑容是什么樣。

I know what it's like to carry regret with you
on a chain around your neck.
I know what it's like
knowing that the whole world sees you falling
and no one is following you down.
I know what it's like being down there
and seeing the world go on without you.

我知道悔恨像脖上的枷鎖一樣困擾的感覺，
我知道…
知道整個世界看見你倒下，
卻沒人跟隨是什么樣。
我知道摔倒在地，
卻看著地球沒你照樣轉是什么樣。

What else do I know
我還知道什么
I know that the darkness fades
and that your smile has the power
to light up the sky like the country's brightest
Fourth of July.

我知道黑暗退去，
你的微笑能把天空點亮，
就像這個國家最明亮的7月4日，
（美國獨立日）這一天。

I know that the sun
always eventually shines
through the clouds
and when it doesn't
you learn to dance in its shadows
and in the rain like glitter
is falling from the sky.

我知道太陽最終總能穿透烏云，
沒陽光時你要學會在陰影下在雨中舞蹈，
就像星星墜落天空。

I know that the pain
will always be a memory
but I know that memories
won't always be painful.

我知道痛苦總會成為記憶，
但我知道記憶不總是痛苦的。

I know that you don't just learn to walk again
but you learn to run to new dreams
to old dreams, and to all things.

我知道你不僅要再次學會走路，
你要學會的是朝著新的夢想，
舊的夢想和一切奔跑。

I know that you could carry regret
with you to your grave
but if you let go of it - if you let go -
you can fly right out of heartbreak.

我知道你可以把遺憾帶進墳墓，
但如果你放手，
如果你放下，
你就可以從傷心往事中擺脫。

I know that the taste of your laughter
will taste better than your tears.
I made it
and so can you.

我知道大笑的味道要比眼淚好，
我做到了，
你也可以。

I made it long ago
but now it's okay to go back to help you
because it doesn't hurt to remember anymore.

我很久之前就成功了，
但現在也能回去幫你了，
因為回憶不會再使我心痛。

I know that it really doesn't hurt forever.
You fall for strangers in coffees shops.
You sing along to songs you used to hate.

我知道痛不是永恒的，
你會在咖啡店迷上陌生人，
會哼唱起曾經討厭的歌。

I'm happy to report that
that stupid line "time heals all" is true.
Now I am resilient.
Now I am happier alone than I ever was together.
Now I know what I want and what I don't.

我很高興告訴你，
那句乏味的“時間治愈一切”是對的。
現在我一切恢復如初了，
獨自一人時要比，
曾經和別人在一起時更快樂。
知道了我想要什么不想要什么。

Now I can smile at the past
and flirt with the future.
Now it's your turn.
I know you - you can do this.

現在我面對過去時能微微一笑，
欣然面對未來，
現在輪到你了，
我懂你，你能做到。

Come with me
come see the beauty at heartbreak's wake.
Your life is waiting for you there.

跟我來吧，
來看看傷心過后的美，
你的生活還在等著你。
