[English]

No more explaining

I am now completely passive

I give you the bullets, and you decide how to use them

To prove my innocence

Who’s truly innocent anyway?

Only heartbreak for betrayal

Sent off by a trusted friend

Fake armor, inside is weakness — you understood first

I should have relied on you, defending what’s good

But reality’s too unpredictable

It feels like the story is out of control

Now, when you say you love me, your actions are the fiercest

Trying to kill me

First answer me, why?

I only fear seeing you draw your gun, and my tears flow like a river

My heart is a wall of bronze and iron, not many can enter

But still, you break in so foolishly

It hurts the most

I don’t know what to trust anymore

We should have stood side by side, but you changed faces — you’re like Yama (the god of death)

My pure feelings are gone, I can’t go back to the start~

From now on, if I lock more doors

Don’t blame me

How I wish I could find out the truth with you, realize it was all a misunderstanding

Though we fought and struggled, trying to fit, I have no regrets

Under the moon, we toast again, hoping our friendship doubles

But I fear this minor conflict will turn our past into ashes

It hurts the most

I don’t know what to trust anymore

We should have stood side by side, but you changed faces — you’re like Yama (the god of death)

My pure feelings are gone, I can’t go back to the start~

From now on, if I lock more doors

Don’t blame me

The worldly talk suppressed me

But you are the one I know best and are closest, yet the one who doesn’t believe in me

At least listen to my pain, what I want to say~

Hopefully, you won’t kick me away right away

Speak your harshest words, like bullets, striking my heart

Trying to kill me

First answer me, why?

I only fear seeing you draw your gun, and my tears flow like a river

I’ve been tempered a thousand times, but my weaknesses aren’t many

But only you can comfort my fragile spots~ Woo~

Now I hope you

Don’t know what you truly are

It’s as if you’ve already turned your heart, giving me endless pain~

I dare not say I have no flaws as a person

But I remain true to myself

Without even a trial, you force me into darkness

If you love me

If you love me

[Chinese]

不想解釋了

我現在 是完全被動

子彈交給你 最後決定 如何利用

要證明無辜

哪有人無辜

只心痛叛變

被知己送終

虛張的盔甲 裹面軟弱 是你先懂

本應很依靠 你在捍衛 無壞人敢碰

現實太難料

彷彿 劇情失控

此際 說愛護我的 出手最凶

想殺掉我

請先答我 為什麼

只恐看見 拔槍的你 我眼淚 便成河

我心銅牆鐵幕 入口不算很多

但卻讓你內進 這樣傻

真正難過

不知再信任什麼

本應與我 並肩一個 變了臉 是閻羅

我的純情已逝 無法重回最初～

自此的我 若多加 兩重鎖

你亦別怪我

多麽想跟你 發現 原來誤會

彼此間 雖有角力 努力磨合 仍不悔

月下 我們又乾杯 願 情誼加倍

就怕今次 這芥蒂 讓往昔 築起的化灰

真正難過

不知再信任什麼

本應與我 並肩一個 變了臉 是閻羅

我的純情已逝 無法重回最初～

自此的我 若多加 兩重鎖

你亦別怪我

俗世用議論壓倒我

但你是最熟 又最親 那個 卻不信我

至少聽聽苦主 想講什麼～

願你別馬上 踢開我

用最毒說話 如子彈 衝擊我心窩

想殺掉我

請先答我 為什麼

只恐看見 拔槍的你 我眼淚 便成河

我千錘和百煉 弱點不算很多

但脆弱處 獨你可撫摸～ Woo~

此際望你

不知道你是什麼

彷彿你已 立心轉向 贈我無窮苦楚～

不敢說做人 我沒缺點

但仍無愧真我

未經審訊 就此迫我成魔

你若是愛我

你若是愛我
