[English]

I act indifferent to avoid being seen as easily touched.

...

I prefer the person I am now and don't want to go back to the past.

I often worry or feel wronged about the fluctuating relationship between us.

Just a word from others can pierce my heart, affecting every nerve.

...

Your loneliness is a castle, admired by many but heavily guarded.

...

Your tenderness is so slow, careful and fragile, quiet yet strong.

Perhaps we both realize that this happiness we face is truly coming.

Because we cherish it too much, we hesitate, forgetting to hold each other tight first.

I am not a rumor; I cannot guess your feelings.

瘋狂的遊戲 需要誰准許

This crazy game needs someone's permission.

I don't care what others say.

Whether I love you or not, time will reveal the truth.

Saving a moment in time to exchange for a century.

Picking a piece of heartache to brew a drop of honey.

Using all my strength just to be together.

...

Your loneliness is a castle, admired by many but heavily guarded.

Whether I love you or not, time will reveal the truth.

Saving a moment in time to exchange for a century.

Picking a piece of heartache to brew a drop of honey.

Using all my strength just to be together.

Whether I love you or not, time will reveal the truth.

[Chinese]

我冷漠 是不想被看出 太容易 被感動觸及

我比較喜歡 現在的自己 不太想 回到過去

我常常 為我們之間 忽遠忽近的關係 擔心或委屈

別人只一句話 就刺痛心裡 每一根神經

你的孤單 是座城堡 讓人景仰 卻處處防疫

你的溫柔 那麼緩慢 小心翼翼 脆弱又安靜

也許 我們都意會到 這次面對的幸福 是真的來臨

因為太珍惜 所以才猶豫 忘了先把彼此 抱緊

我不是流言 不能猜測你

瘋狂的遊戲 需要誰准許

別人怎麼說 我都不介意

我愛不愛你 日久見人心

存一寸光陰 換一個世紀

摘一片苦心 釀一滴蜂蜜

用盡了全力 只為在一起

我愛不愛你 愛久見人心

你的孤單 是座城堡 讓人景仰 卻處處防疫

你的溫柔 那麼緩慢 小心翼翼 脆弱又安靜

也許 我們都意會到 這次面對的幸福 是真的來臨

因為太珍惜 所以才猶豫 忘了先把彼此 抱緊

我不是流言 不能猜測你

瘋狂的遊戲 需要誰准許

別人怎麼說 我都不介意

我愛不愛你 日久見人心

存一寸光陰 換一個世紀

摘一片苦心 釀一滴蜂蜜

用盡了全力 只為在一起

我愛不愛你 愛久見人心

存一寸光陰 換一個世紀

摘一片苦心 釀一滴蜂蜜

用盡了全力 只為在一起

我愛不愛你 愛久見人心

Hah
