[English]

Thought I could see the sunlight but only then did I remember you've already left

Suddenly everything's broken; my heart is forever in a darkened night

Places we never went; dreams we never made real

I can only temporarily forget

...

Your face in photos, your smile stuck in my eyes

...

Things that once looked wonderful now seem different, like film exposed to light

...

Turning into a blank space

I don’t want to update your news; I don’t want to erase your face

Pretending someone replaced you; you’re always by my side

Unwilling to be seen through, only my loneliness remains

If anyone asks about you, I’ll just say so what

Imagining having dinner with you, imagining waiting for dawn

...

The story’s like a specimen, a beautiful illusion before my eyes

...

But it’s already dead

Making up your current situation, painting your image myself

Pretending you’re still the same, you’re always by my side

Unwilling to be seen through; only my fear of being alone remains

If anyone asks about you, I’ll say everything’s as usual

Weapons no one understands, strength no one doubts

...

I don’t want to face my obsession; I don’t want to confront my madness

Pretending I haven’t been hurt; bearing all the pain alone

Unwilling to reveal myself, punishing myself for it

An imaginary lover who wouldn’t leave my side

...

[Chinese]

以為能夠看見陽光 才想起你早已離開

時間忽然全故障 心永遠在漆黑的晚上

還沒一起去的地方 還沒實現過的夢想

只能暫時先遺忘

照片裡你的臉龐 笑容停在我眼眶

美好轉眼變了樣 像是底片見了光

變一片空白

不想更新你的近況 不想刪除你的模樣

假裝有人取代 你每天在我身旁

不願意被誰看穿 只剩我一個人的孤單

若誰問起你來 我會說那又怎樣

想像和你吃晚餐 想像和你等天亮

故事就像標本一樣 眼前是美麗的假象

卻已經死亡

自己編造你的近況 自己描繪你的模樣

假裝還是一樣 你每天在我身旁

不願意被誰看穿 只剩我一個人的害怕

若誰問起你來 我會說一如往常

沒人理解的武裝 沒人懷疑的堅強

不想面對我的癡狂 不想正視我的荒唐

假裝沒受過傷 所有痛一個人承擔

不願意自己揭穿 這是我對自己的懲罰

不存在的情人 就不會離開我身旁
