[English]

我的東西你早已經整理完

My belongings, you’ve already sorted them out

其實寧願你別答應那麼快

Actually, I’d prefer you not to agree so quickly

提分手的人往往想再努力看看

People who talk about breaking up often want to try harder first

誰真的能一刀兩斷

Who can truly cut ties completely

我也清楚這次不該再心軟

I understand this time I shouldn’t be soft anymore

對於你的體貼全然不責怪

I don’t blame you for being considerate

反而羨慕起有些人分得不愉快

Instead, I envy those who part ways unhappily

才捨得轉身離開

Only then am I willing to turn away

說再見 不難

Saying goodbye isn’t hard

就別問是誰真心想說出來

Just don’t ask who truly wants to say it

像家人像朋友都只是欺瞞

Like family, like friends — just lies and pretenses

當初多喜歡只是惡性循環

Back then, how much I liked you, just a vicious cycle

說抱歉 不難

Sorry isn’t hard to say

跟我們是否還相愛也無關

Whether we still love each other has nothing to do with it

形式上去結束某一個階段

Ending a phase formally

淡去的記憶將由誰保管 都不是太樂觀

Who keeps the fading memories? Not very optimistic

我也清楚這次不該再心軟

I understand this time I shouldn’t be soft anymore

對於你的體貼全然不責怪

I don’t blame you for being considerate

反而羨慕起有些人分得不愉快

Instead, I envy those who part ways unhappily

才捨得轉身離開

Only then am I willing to turn away

說再見 不難

Saying goodbye isn’t hard

就別問是誰真心想說出來

Just don’t ask who truly wants to say it

像家人像朋友都只是欺瞞

Like family, like friends — just lies and pretenses

當初多喜歡只是惡性循環

Back then, how much I liked you, just a vicious cycle

說抱歉 不難

Sorry isn’t hard to say

跟我們是否還相愛也無關

Whether we still love each other has nothing to do with it

形式上去結束某一個階段

Ending a phase formally

淡去的記憶將由誰保管 都不是太樂觀

Who keeps the fading memories? Not very optimistic

時間終究會比愛強悍

Time will ultimately be stronger than love

忘記什麼都不難

Forgetting anything isn’t hard

說再見 不難

Saying goodbye isn’t hard

就別問是誰真心想說出來

Just don’t ask who truly wants to say it

像家人像朋友都只是欺瞞

Like family, like friends — just lies and pretenses

當初越喜歡越是惡性循環

The more I liked, the more it became a vicious cycle

想復原 不難

Wanting to recover isn’t hard

等某天各自出現下個牽絆

Waiting for the day each to find their next connection

關於你很自然會煙消雲散

About you, it’ll naturally fade away

當初多喜歡多糾纏

Back then, how much I liked and how entangled I was

甚至都想不起來

Even to the point of forgetting everything

...
