    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 aren't exactly breaking
    Its just a thought, only a thought

    [Chorus]:

    But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
    Well I deserve nothing more than I get
    Cause nothing I have is truly mine

    [verse2]:

    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
    Cause there's really nothing left here to stop me
    Its just a thought, only a thought

    [Chorus repeat ×2]:

   But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
    Well I deserve nothing more than I get
    Cause 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
    Cause nothing I have is truly mine

    [verse3]:

    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?

    [Chorus]:

    But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
    Well I deserve nothing more than I get
    Cause nothing I have is truly mine{×2}

    Cause nothing I have is truly mine{×3}

    备注：

    “my life is for rent” 这是这首歌的主旨，“for rent”，“rent‘ 有租借的意思，很形象吧？

    “deserve”是“值得……”的意思，you can say" he had done so much about the science so that he deserved the prize." or" he deserved the blame for his fault.”可以看出，“deserve”是中性词，是可以和褒义、贬义的名词连用的。

    “live my life”这是一个同根短语，类似的还有“dream a dream", isn't it interesting?

    记得那句古诗：“人生如寄，多忧何为？今我不乐，岁月如驰。”被Dido吸引，正是来源于这个标题，深谙“人生如寄”之真谛啊！既然人生如寄，代谢不居，岁月消逝得如此迅速，那么漂泊在外的游子，又如何能不为之触目惊心？面对生命的辗转，我们会彷徨、迷惘，可Dido却能将这漂泊、寂寞演绎得不染铅华、不施粉黛，纯净得犹如精灵轻舞，剔透得仿佛水晶，低吟浅唱间将心境表露无遗。她的歌声飘渺唯美，却简约之极，Dido就是在你我身旁抚慰心灵的世间天使。Dido曾表示：“这代表了我目前对生活的看法和心境，以及我未来想过的生活。不要怕冒险尝试。人很容易安于稳定自满，和世界脱节。这张专辑是我时时刻刻对自己的提醒及警惕。”所以如果在生活中遇到了挫折，在工作中碰到了障碍，听听Dido的天籁之音吧，远离忧愁，给自己一个快乐的理由吧！
