Lyrics Translation

How can I explain myself to you?
Questions keep lurking through my mind
Is it the lover for the time?
I've given my heart, my joy, my soul to you
If it is real, I sure can't see
Gotta start lookin' out for me
And in my, my heart won't take no more
I know it seems that I don't care
Sometimes my wave of love is there
I feel it's time for me to take a stand
See, you have given me no choice
I feel I must exercise my voice and say

This feeling, there's no drug that can compare
You're so cold, I can see your breath, I swear
They told me not to fall in love
Wondering where it all went wrong
You were my poison all along

At night, I lay awake in tears and pain (tears and pain)
Searching my heart for what went wrong (hey)
Askin' myself, "What's goin' on?"
Why could not we seem to see things eye to eye? (Eye to eye)
Sometimes I really feel the danger (hey)
And now I'm sleepin' with a stranger
To see all these years, we flushed 'em down the drain (down the drain)
Is that a love that came for us?
Now, it's too late for both of us
No regrets of what we've lost and what we've shared
Maybe tomorrow we'll love again
Or until then we'll stay as friends, oh, one day

This feeling, there's no drug that can compare
You're so cold, I can see your breath, I swear
They told me not to fall in love
Wondering where it all went wrong
You were my poison all along

Yeah
Poison all long
Oh yeah
Ooh
Baby girl
Poison all along

How can I explain myself to you?
Como posso me explicar para você?
Questions keep lurking through my mind
Perguntas continuam rondando minha mente
Is it the lover for the time?
É o amante pelo tempo?
I've given my heart, my joy, my soul to you
Eu dei meu coração, minha alegria, minha alma para você
If it is real, I sure can't see
Se é real, eu certamente não consigo ver
Gotta start lookin' out for me
Tenho que começar a cuidar de mim
And in my, my heart won't take no more
E no meu, meu coração não aguenta mais
I know it seems that I don't care
Eu sei que parece que eu não me importo
Sometimes my wave of love is there
Às vezes minha onda de amor está lá
I feel it's time for me to take a stand
Sinto que é hora de eu tomar uma posição
See, you have given me no choice
Veja, você não me deu escolha
I feel I must exercise my voice and say
Sinto que devo exercer minha voz e dizer
This feeling, there's no drug that can compare
Esse sentimento, não há droga que possa comparar
You're so cold, I can see your breath, I swear
Você é tão frio, eu posso ver sua respiração, eu juro
They told me not to fall in love
Eles me disseram para não me apaixonar
Wondering where it all went wrong
Perguntando onde tudo deu errado
You were my poison all along
Você era meu veneno o tempo todo
At night, I lay awake in tears and pain (tears and pain)
À noite, eu fico acordado em lágrimas e dor (lágrimas e dor)
Searching my heart for what went wrong (hey)
Procurando em meu coração o que deu errado (ei)
Askin' myself, "What's goin' on?"
Perguntando a mim mesmo, "O que está acontecendo?"
Why could not we seem to see things eye to eye? (Eye to eye)
Por que não conseguimos ver as coisas olho no olho? (Olho no olho)
Sometimes I really feel the danger (hey)
Às vezes eu realmente sinto o perigo (ei)
And now I'm sleepin' with a stranger
E agora estou dormindo com um estranho
To see all these years, we flushed 'em down the drain (down the drain)
Ver todos esses anos, nós os jogamos pelo ralo (pelo ralo)
Is that a love that came for us?
É esse o amor que veio para nós?
Now, it's too late for both of us
Agora, é tarde demais para nós dois
No regrets of what we've lost and what we've shared
Sem arrependimentos do que perdemos e do que compartilhamos
Maybe tomorrow we'll love again
Talvez amanhã nós amaremos novamente
Or until then we'll stay as friends, oh, one day
Ou até então ficaremos como amigos, oh, um dia
This feeling, there's no drug that can compare
Esse sentimento, não há droga que possa comparar
You're so cold, I can see your breath, I swear
Você é tão frio, eu posso ver sua respiração, eu juro
They told me not to fall in love
Eles me disseram para não me apaixonar
Wondering where it all went wrong
Perguntando onde tudo deu errado
You were my poison all along
Você era meu veneno o tempo todo
Yeah
Sim
Poison all long
Veneno o tempo todo
Oh yeah
Oh sim
Ooh
Ooh
Baby girl
Menina
Poison all along
Veneno o tempo todo
