[English]

He left without a word, it's been three days now

Breakfast is still prepared and sitting by the bed

And I, moved to tears, am grateful

Saying he's ultimately a good person

Every day repeats like a drama

Even the hottest tea gradually feels cold

After crying, I seem to grow thinner

Just admit it, he's afraid of trouble

Just admit it, he needs to be exposed

It's probably because he has a new lover

Just admit it, don’t keep spinning in place

Just admit it, smash that cheap bowl

Let go, don’t keep yourself awake with worry

...

He left without a word, it's been three days now

Breakfast is still prepared and sitting by the bed

And I, moved to tears, am grateful

Saying he's ultimately a good person

Every day repeats like a drama

Even the hottest tea gradually feels cold

After crying, I seem to become mature

Just admit it, he's afraid of trouble

Just admit it, he needs to be exposed

It's probably because he has a new lover

Just admit it, don’t keep spinning in place

Just admit it, break that cheap plate

Let go, don’t keep yourself awake with worry

Don’t secretly, cowardly say those words, loving you in the next life, useless words of no worth

Don’t blush, expect him to sigh, unconsciously feel sad for you, deliberately tell lies

Don’t talk about fate or chance—being together is just sharing a meal, a bowl of soup

Just pretend it’s all gone, forgive him, light a new incense, the next one might be so handsome they go to heaven

Just admit it, he’s afraid of trouble

Just admit it, he needs to be exposed

It’s probably because he already has an old lover

Just admit it, no one has the answer

Just admit it, we’re not that unbearable

Get used to our unease

...

[Chinese]

他不告而別至今三天了

早餐還做好擺在床邊呢

而我 感動得 感謝著

說他畢竟是好人

每天都戲劇化的重複著

再燙口的茶漸漸不覺熱

哭完 彷彿清瘦了

承認吧 他是怕麻煩

承認吧 他該被揭穿

不外乎他另有新歡

承認吧 別原地自轉

承認吧 摔便宜的碗

放手吧 別寢食難安

他不告而別至今三天了

早餐還做好擺在床邊呢

而我 感動得 感謝著

說他畢竟是好人

每天都戲劇化的重複著

再燙口的茶漸漸不覺熱

哭完 彷彿輕熟了

承認吧 他是怕麻煩

承認吧 他該被揭穿

不外乎他另有新歡

承認吧 別原地自轉

承認吧 摔便宜的碗

放手吧 別寢食難安

別偷偷的 懦弱的 說那些 下輩子 還愛你 沒出息的廢話

別心虛的 期待他 嘆息著 無意的 心疼你 有意的說謊

別談那些 緣分啊 機率的 在一起 不就是 一口飯 一口湯

就當他都 過去了 原諒他 上個香 下一個 帥到上天堂

承認吧 他是怕麻煩

承認吧 他該被揭穿

不外乎他早有舊愛

承認吧 沒人有答案

承認吧 沒那麼不堪

習慣吧 我們的不安
