你的姿態 你的青睞

Your posture, your favor

我存在在你的存在

I exist in your existence

你以為愛 就是被愛

You think love is just being loved

你揮霍了我的崇拜

You've squandered my admiration

...

我活了 我愛了 我都不管了

I've lived, I've loved, and I don't care anymore

心愛到瘋了 恨到算了就好了

Loved so crazily, hated so much, just letting go is fine

可能的 可以的 真的可惜了

Possible, doable, really such a pity

幸福好不容易 怎麼你卻不敢了呢

Happiness is so hard to find, why are you not brave enough anymore?

我還以為我們能 不同於別人

I still thought we could be different from others

我還以為不可能的 不會不可能

I thought the impossible was possible, that it wouldn't be impossible
