[English]

The lights are off again, not on time.

Listening to a love song that resembles myself.

Seeking some recognition of missing you.

Which line is the most fitting and suitable?

I cried again, unintentionally.

I never learn to celebrate for myself.

Those moments that should be lively.

The more I want to live an ordinary life.

The person I think of when I close my eyes.

Has left the deepest scars.

Are the ones I should let go of but can't bear to.

That's why I let you indulge in the blurriest sight.

Freely.

This you, this scar, this inability to let go.

If I open my eyes, it'll disappear.

So I keep them closed.

Hey, how long has it been since we last met?

Today, I'm still wearing the white you love.

You said it makes me look happier.

Everything seems simple yet profound.

The person I think of when I close my eyes.

Has left the deepest scars.

Are the ones I should let go of but can't bear to.

That's why I let you indulge in the blurriest sight.

Freely.

This you, this scar, this inability to let go.

If I open my eyes, it'll disappear.

So I keep them closed.

If you can only hold me tight right now.

Can you let me have a long night with many dreams?

Because if I open my eyes, it'll disappear.

Because you'll disappear.

The person I think of when I close my eyes.

Has given me the best life.

Thank you for letting me understand this inability to let go.

Is in the days without each other, we mutually.

Congratulate.

This you, this life, this inability to let go.

If one day I think of you again, I'll just close my eyes.

[Chinese]

燈 又 不準時 關了

聽 和自己 相似 的情歌

找 一些想你 的認可

哪句 最 貼切 又適合

我 又 不小心 哭了

總 學不會 為自己 慶賀

那些 該 熱鬧 的時刻

越 想要 平淡無奇 過著

閉上眼睛 會想起 的人

都有留過 最深 的 傷痕

都是我 最該捨的 卻 捨不得

才讓 你 在最模糊 的視線裡 盡情

放任

這個你 這傷痕 這種捨不得

如果睜開 就不見了

我閉著

欸 多久 沒見了

今天 還是穿 你愛的 白色

你說 看起來 更快樂

什麼都顯得 簡單 深刻

閉上眼睛 會想起 的人

都有留過 最深 的 傷痕

都是我 最該捨的 卻 捨不得

才讓 你 在最模糊 的視線裡 盡情

放任

這個你 這傷痕 這種捨不得

如果睜開 就不見了

我閉著

如果 你 只能 在現在 抱緊我

能不能 讓我 真的 夜長夢多

因為 睜開 就不見了

因為 你就會 不見了

閉上眼睛 會想起 的人

有給過 我 最好 的人生

謝謝你 讓我瞭解了 捨不得

是在 沒有了 彼此的日子裡 互相

道賀

這個 你 這人生 這種 捨不得

如果 哪天 又 想起了 就閉著
