《Half of Me》的詞曲作者為Paul Overstreet和Don Schlitz,演唱者是Kenny Rogers。歌曲的英文詞句如下:
Verse 1:
Half of me wants to stay
Right here in this room with you
Half of me wants to go
To all the places I've never been
Chorus:
But every time I start to leave
I feel a little bit more like staying here with you
And every time I look at you
I don't want to let you go
Verse 2:
Half of me says I'm just a fool
To ever let a lover break my heart in two
Half of me knows I should forget
But half of me still believes in fate
(Chorus)
Bridge:
And every time I start to leave
I feel a little bit more like staying here with you
Until the day I fall asleep in your arms
Half of me wants to stay with you
Verse 3:
I've been all around this world before
And I've been all alone too, yeah
But I don't see anything that could set me free
Without my half of me, my half of me. (chorus)
這首歌曲表達了當兩個人相愛時,雙方的情感和欲望在內心深處產生衝突。其中一半想要留下來與對方在一起,另一半則想要去探索世界。然而,每次當他們準備離開時,他們都會感到更加留戀對方。這首歌也表達了愛情的力量,即使面臨分離的痛苦,也願意為對方留下。
