Something that you just can't explain

with your own words, thats why you need to steal them from a stranger's blog.

Was listening to Olivia's rendition of this beautiful song and I decided to look up the chords for it and before I knew it, I stumbled into this person's blog. He/She/"Charis" described the incidents of looking for a song, that has so much emotional sublimes behind it.

This song is old, but the lyrics mean so much more than just another lost love. It brings you to a point in time, where you had to realize that there are things, people in life, predestined to only introduce you to an emotion so real that it hurts just to think it... but you knew you had it coming. You always did.

I give this song to people who already knew what they will never gather in their life, and people who will lose their lives, trying to gather them.

This song (范逸臣's Chinese version) goes out to those who are feeling a little down & out, maybe cuz some circumstances didn't add up for you in this regard. I believe you’ll catch every line. Want you to take hope no matter what. Want you to think the best of what you can’t figure out in the other person. Cuz there's so much more to them that you don't see anyway. I know it's really really painful when things turn out differently from how it appeared on the surface, and you can't explain why you actually feel this sad. Emotions you try to deny as illogical, unnecessary, inexplicable, almost silly ... echoes in counterpoint to that lingering sense of loss and pain that won't quickly leave. God wants you to know it's gonna be alright. He does. I want you to know that someone knows.

and a comment I found on the same blog (which btw the link is here)

""Living would be that much less meaningful and under-expressed without songs, don't you think! :)""

I Believe – 范逸臣


I believe 当我在你家门口，下雨了 你看了也会难过。
I believe if I stood outside your door in the rain,
your heart would feel for me.

I believe 你不说话的时候，也是一种 ... 其实你在回应我。
I believe even though you don’t reveal much,
it’s just your way of communicating with me.

虽然不曾说，相信你正在懂。就算牵的不是我的手，我不真的难过。
Even though you’ve never said it, I believe you understand.
So even if we’re not together, I'll be content with that.

不知道在高兴什么，你的笑容有时候也宁可当作你在为我加油。
Don’t know why I feel so happy around you,
when just a smile from you seems to fill me with encouragement.

不知道在妄想什么，只告诉自己，“I believe 你总会看到我，
Don’t know what I think so wishfully about,
nor why I tell myself, “I believe you can see that I care,

在某个时候，想让你陪伴的是我。”
and maybe sometimes you do think about letting me into your heart.”

I believe 没有回应的时候，只不过正好你在电话中。
I believe when you don’t pick up the phone,
it’s only because you happen to be on the line.

I believe 语音信箱的沉默，也是一种 ... 其实你在倾听我。
I believe when I leave a message, you’ll still quietly listen to what I say.

虽然不曾说，相信你正在懂。就算牵的不是我的手，我真的不难过。
Even though you’ve never said it, I believe you understand.
So even if we’re not together, I'll be content with that.

不知道在高兴什么，你的笑容有时候也宁可当作你在为我加油。
Don’t know why I feel so happy around you,
when just a smile from you seems to fill me with encouragement.

不知道在妄想什么，只告诉自己，“I believe 你总会看到我，
Don’t know what I think so wishfully about,
nor why I tell myself, “I believe you can see that I care,

在一切之后，留在你身边的是我。”
and regardless, I’ll be around for you.”


那延续太久的一时冲动，在你身后的独角戏，聚光灯没亮过，
I know if I foolishly continue this way much longer,
it will just become a monologue of wishful thinking,
where I’m the only actor on an unlit stage,

怀疑是自己编造的内容，你从不真的认得我。
and I'll wonder if I fabricated the story up in my mind,
when the truth is you’ve never really understood me.


不知道在高兴什么，你的笑容有时候也宁可当作你在为我加油。
Don’t know why I feel so happy around you,
when just a smile from you seems to fill me with encouragement.

不知道在妄想什么，只告诉自己，“I believe 一定会有结果，
Don’t know what I think so wishfully about,
nor why I tell myself, “I believe it'll all be meaningful in the end,

在很久以后，留在你身边的是我 ...... 会陪着你的人 ... 是我。”
and regardless, I’ll be around for you ...... simply here for you.”
