[English]

My dear, I only ask to hold you for a second

Let my heartbeat explain that without you, I can't beat

Once again, I burn myself because of you

Even if the world destroys itself, as long as you love me

...

A hot afternoon filled with confusion and doubt

Suddenly dreaming of your face so vividly clear

Faded walls attack my bed

My breath longs for your special touch

In the storm, I am a brave tree

Waiting for you to tire and rest in my protection

How long must I lose to accept the cruelty of love

Why did you give up everything

My dear, I only ask to hold you for a second

Let my heartbeat explain that without you, I can't beat

Once again, I burn myself because of you

Even if the world is destroyed, I only want

...

Music fills the room, hiding my loneliness

But your voice's ups and downs can’t be hidden

Laying everything down, I still feel unhappy

Because a future without you isn’t happiness

In the storm, I am a brave tree

Waiting for you to tire and stay in my protection

How long must I lose to accept the cruelty of love

Why did you give up everything

My dear, I only ask to hold you for a second

Let my heartbeat explain that without you, I can't beat

Once again, I burn myself because of you

Even if the world perishes, I only want

To break myself and see if I am strong

No matter how you feel, I can't shake my feelings for you

Once again, I use my heartbeat to trap you

Exchanging a lifetime, waiting for you feels too little, love me

...

My dear, I only ask to hold you for a second

Let my heartbeat explain that without you, I can't beat

Once again, I burn myself because of you

Even if the world destroys me, I only want your love

...

My dear, I only ask to hold you for a second

...

Exchanging a lifetime, waiting for you feels too little

...

[Chinese]

親愛的我只求擁抱你一秒

讓心跳解釋沒有了你不能跳

再一次因為你把自己燃燒

哪怕這世界毀滅我也 只要你 愛我

不明不白的一個悶熱下午

忽然夢見你的臉過分清楚

褪色的牆襲擊了我的床鋪

我的呼吸想念著你的特殊

狂風暴雨之中 我是勇敢的樹

等待你會疲倦 停在我的保護

失去多久才夠 接受愛的殘酷

為何你要 放棄了這全部

親愛的我只求擁抱你一秒

讓心跳解釋沒有了你不能跳

再一次因為你把自己燃燒

哪怕這世界毀滅我也 只要你 愛我

音樂不停在房間掩飾孤獨

也停不了你聲音那些起伏

放下一切我還是會不幸福

因為未來沒有你不叫幸福

狂風暴雨之中 我是勇敢的樹

等待你會疲倦 停在我的保護

失去多久才夠 接受愛的殘酷

為何你要 放棄了這全部

親愛的我只求擁抱你一秒

讓心跳解釋沒有了你不能跳

再一次因為你把自己燃燒

哪怕這世界毀滅殆盡 我只要

分開我打壞我看看我的好

任憑妳感覺 我對妳的戒不掉

再一次把心動用妳來套牢

交換一輩子等你我都嫌太少 愛我

親愛的 我只求擁抱妳一秒

讓心跳解釋沒有了妳不能跳

再一次因為妳把自己燃燒

哪怕這世界毀滅 我也只要妳愛我

親愛的我只求擁抱你一秒

交換一輩子等你都嫌太少
