[English]

Forget your guilt, too many proofs with him

Who ever said happiness is a crime?

Passion turns to indifference, finally breaking up

Letting you be free, you can leave on bail

Early to let go, please walk out

After accusations, who will come to testify? I am too tired

Unable to hold on to what’s in front of me

In the end, I lost to a kiss when I wasn’t careful

Unforgettable, love mixed with resentment

Silent confrontation, as the ending unfolds

Hiding the truth, pouring out blood and sweat

Thinking of being with him again, feels heartless

Forgive you, lying to my face behind my back

No one wants to continue, so I unconditionally let go

The lover who left, how can I ask my heart?

No one is worth being cherished

If it’s like a verdict, then let go of the other person

I understand you don’t want to come back to me

It’s only your forgetfulness that caused this

Forget your guilt, too many proofs together with him

Who ever said happiness is a crime?

Passion fades, finally breaking up

Letting you be free, you can leave on bail

Early to let go, please walk out

After accusations, who will come to testify? I am too tired

Hiding the truth, pouring out blood and sweat

Thinking of being with him again, feels heartless

Forgive you, lying to my face behind my back

No one wants to continue, so I unconditionally let go

The lover who left, how can I ask my heart?

No one is worth being cherished

If it’s like a verdict, then let go of the other person

I understand you no longer want to return to me

It’s only your forgetfulness that caused this

Who can decide justice fairly, who can analyze the gains and losses?

How stubborn I am to refuse to remember everything about us

...

Ah...

Hiding the truth, pouring out blood and sweat

Thinking of being with him again, feels heartless

Forgive you, lying to my face behind my back

No one wants to keep loving, no matter how much I want to hold tight

The lover who left, how can I ask my heart?

No one is worth being cherished

The dust has settled, the show is over, wipe away your tears

Attempted to fight for us, but when I look around, he's already there

...

[Chinese]

忘記你的罪名 跟他一起 太多的證據

誰曾說快樂無罪

叫熱情濃轉淡最後告吹

成全你的自由 保釋可離開

早放手 請你走出去

誰人指控後 誰前來做證 經已太累

呈現眼前捉不緊

最後我一不留神輸給一吻

揮之不去 情中有恨

無言能共對 隨結局發生

把真相隱藏 花光的血汗

為求和他一起想也心寒

原諒你 瞞著我說謊

無人願意繼續 才無條件釋放

出走的情人 撫心怎去自問

沒人值得被稀罕

如宣判定了 還是放開對方

明白你不想 回到我身邊

只怪是你善忘

遺忘你的罪名 跟他一起 太多的證據

誰曾說 快樂無罪

叫熱情濃轉淡最後告吹

成全你的自由 保釋可離開

早放手 請你走出去

誰人指控後 誰前來做證 我已太累

把真相隱藏 花光的血汗

為求和他一起想也心寒

原諒你 瞞著我說謊

無人願意繼續 才無條件釋放

出走的情人 撫心怎去自問

沒人值得被稀罕

如宣判定了 還是放開對方

明白你已不想 回到我身邊

只怪是你善忘

誰能公正決定懲罰 由誰分析得與失

我的所有 如何頑固到拒絕記得

Ah...

把真相隱藏 花光的血汗

為求和他一起想也心寒

原諒你 瞞著我說謊

無人願意繼續談情 無論多想抱緊

出走的情人 撫心怎去自問

沒人值得被稀罕

塵埃已定了 完場就要結束 把眼淚擦乾

試過爭取 回看你身邊 他已在旁
