dear friend 

i'm in love with a friend
but he's in love with a man
so i took out my pen
wrote down the story of me and this friend

sometimes i ask myself
should i plant a tree that'll never grow
or should i ride a boat
in a river that no longer flows

oh i imagine too much
i sleep i dream too much and
in the end i don't know what is up

as a friend as a friend
i have always tried to understand
to be frank to be frank
i secretly hope i still have a chance

did you show
does he know
what's in your mind
would you be calm enough
if he declines

i will always be by your side
though i'm never gonna be your bride
i will look for somebody else
to love and to be loved

i eat i vomit too much
i smoke i drink too much and
in the end i don't know what i've done

oh i sleep i dream too much
oh i smoke i drink too much
my friend i love you too much

親愛的朋友

我愛上了我的朋友
但是他愛上了一個男人
所以我拿出一枝筆
寫下我跟這個朋友的故事

有時候我問自己
我應不應該種一棵不會生長的樹
或者我應不應該在一條已乾沽了的河上划船

我幻想得太多
睡得太多夢得太多
到頭來我不知道身邊在發生甚麼事

作為一個朋友
我已經嘗試去明白你
坦白說
我還暗暗希望我還有機會

你有沒有表示
他知不知道你在想甚麼
如果他拒絕
你會不會夠冷靜

我會永遠在你身邊
雖然我不能成為你的新娘
我會找另一個人
去讓我愛
去愛我

我吃得太多吐得太多
吸煙太多喝酒太多
到頭來我不知道自己幹了些甚麼

我睡得太多夢得太多
吸煙太多喝酒太多
我的朋友
我愛你太深
