[English]

Your posture, your favor

I exist in your existence

You think love is just being loved

You've squandered my admiration

...

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

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

Possible, doable, really such a pity

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

I still thought we could be different from others

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

Your posture, your favor

I exist in your existence

You think love is just being loved

You've squandered my admiration

...

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

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

Possible, doable, really such a pity

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

I still thought we could be different from others

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

Your posture, your favor

I exist in your existence

You think love is just being loved

You've squandered my admiration

Kites have the wind

Dolphins have the sea

I exist in my own being

So I understand, so I leave

So I no longer love just for love

My own existence outside of you

...

[Chinese]

你的姿態 你的青睞

我存在在你的存在

你以為愛 就是被愛

你揮霍了我的崇拜

我活了 我愛了 我都不管了

心愛到瘋了 恨到算了就好了

可能的 可以的 真的可惜了

幸福好不容易 怎麼你卻不敢了呢

我還以為我們能 不同於別人

我還以為不可能的 不會不可能

你的姿態 你的青睞

我存在在你的存在

你以為愛 就是被愛

你揮霍了我的崇拜

我活了 我愛了 我都不管了

心愛到瘋了 恨到算了就好了

可能的 可以的 真的可惜了

幸福好不容易 怎麼你卻不敢了呢

我還以為我們能 不同於別人

我還以為不可能的 不會不可能

你的姿態 你的青睞

我存在在你的存在

你以為愛 就是被愛

你揮霍了我的崇拜

風箏有風

海豚有海

我存在在我的存在

所以明白 所以離開

所以不再為愛而愛

自己存在在你之外
