[English]

Drinking a full glass of water, seeking peace of mind

Going for a hike or climb, trying the beauty of nature

The wine and meat of the past, how filthy

Always made you worry

I have now left

You put on a white wedding dress, like a fairy

Does he cherish you with all his heart?

Living the dream, living well

Next year, accompanying the kids learning to walk

Commemorating our love from the beginning

Now I'm willing to cook for myself

When extremely bored, I can be romantic by myself

Glad I can still sleep well

Still living better than yesterday

Dealing with my own troubles

Correcting my habits for the future

Keeping busy, enduring, but if I'm not careful

I always remember you

That old CD of yours, still secretly playing

Every sentence is dreamlike, impossible to forget

Faye Wong's loneliness, how lonely

Who has become a stranger passing by?

Do you still miss this person?

Now I'm willing to cook for myself

When extremely bored, I can be romantic by myself

Glad I can still sleep well

Still living better than yesterday

Dealing with my own troubles

Correcting my habits for the future

Keeping busy, enduring, but if I'm not careful

I always remember you

How is this cold wall covered in dust?

Looking at the faded photo, why am I still spacing out?

This exquisite bed sheet should have left with you long ago

Now only I'm left, thinking about the past

Why didn't I know how to confess?

Why wasn't I willing to learn?

Relying on eloquent speech

Carelessly scolding you

Why didn't I know how to stand up?

And take responsibility for my mistakes

Then I, then I, wish I had

Known how to cherish you

...

[Chinese]

喝滿杯白開水 求身心安靜

去遠足或登山 嘗試自然美

曾經的酒肉 多麼污濁

常令你操心

我如今 已離開

你著起白婚紗 如仙子一樣

那個他是否都 全意在乎你

夢想的生活 好好生活

來年陪著子女學行

記念當初我們的愛情

我現時自己肯做飯

悶極時自己可浪漫

慶幸還睡得好

還活得好過昨日

應付完自己的患難

為未來改正我習慣

忙下去 捱下去 但一不小心

總記起你

你那張舊CD 還偷偷轉動

句句都夢一般 無法被忘記

王菲的孤寂 多麼孤寂

誰成為陌生過路人

你是否都掛念這個人

我現時自己肯做飯

悶極時自己可浪漫

慶幸還睡得好

還活得好過昨日

應付完自己的患難

為未來改正我習慣

忙下去 捱下去 但一不小心

總記起你

這幅冰冷牆壁 怎麼鋪滿塵埃

望著掉色的相 為何還是發著呆

這張精緻床單 早該跟你離開

現在剩我一個 想起曾經

我為何未懂得自白

我為何未捨得學習

恃住雄辯滔滔

隨便的把你喝罵

我為何未懂得站立

為事情出錯了負責

然後我 然後我 恨不得當初

懂得愛惜你
