[English]

It's best to part ways and forget, you've found your partner.

Returning to the old scene, I can't help but cry.

Often imagining you warmly holding him for a nap.

Yet I have no right now to complain even once.

I no longer have the courage to talk to you about the past.

No courage to love again.

For you, I forgot my sleep, talking all night long.

But it has already become a thing of the past.

Still remembering, the unreasonable arguments were the foolishness of youth.

Today you can forget.

Only I reminisce, how ironic.

...

Tossing and turning, burying love alive, trying to fade your impression.

Bringing up old characters, yet I feel happy with fear.

Time flows like water, and I also know a partner who has grown.

Cruelty may be the appearance of the object, somewhat like you.

I no longer have the courage to talk to you about the past.

No courage to love again.

For you, I forgot my sleep, talking all night long.

But it has already become a thing of the past.

Still remembering, the unreasonable arguments were the foolishness of youth.

Today you can forget.

Only I reminisce, how ironic.

How to escape this love story, still told in such detail.

The repeated shock, the aftershocks haven't stopped.

I no longer have the courage to talk to you about the past.

No courage to love again.

For you, I forgot my sleep, talking all night long.

But it has already become a thing of the past.

Still remembering, the unreasonable arguments were the foolishness of youth.

Looking back today,

this boy.

I'm afraid to face you when it comes to life.

Regretting the childish disputes of the past.

Without your charming moments, the noise and joy,

it has already lost its meaning.

The small talk ends here, the regret concludes that memories must end here.

Although you find it hard to forget,

this love relic must eventually be discarded.

Let's live well from now on.

...

[Chinese]

好好分開應要淡忘 你找到你伴侶

重臨舊情境 我卻哭得出眼淚

時常在聯想 你會溫馨的抱他午睡

然而自己現在沒任何權利 再抱怨一句

我再沒勇氣向你講舊時

沒有勇氣相愛另一次

為你將睡眠忘記 通宵傾談

但已經頓成往事

還是記起 無道理的對罵是年紀小的不智

今天你能忘記

只得我懷念 多麼諷刺

輾轉反側將愛活埋 要把你印象減退

重提舊人物 我卻開心得帶恐懼

年月是流水 我也相識一個成長伴侶

殘酷或許是對象面形容貌 也似你少許

我再沒勇氣向你講舊時

沒有勇氣相愛另一次

為你將睡眠忘記 通宵傾談

但已經頓成往事

還是記起 無道理的對罵是年紀小的不智

今天你能忘記

只得我懷念 多麼諷刺

如何逃避這戀愛故事 仍然說得多細緻

重 覆的震撼 餘震未停止

我再沒勇氣向你講舊時

沒有勇氣相愛另一次

為你將睡眠忘記 通宵傾談

但已經頓成往事

還是記起 無道理的對罵是年紀小的不智

今天再回頭看

這一個男孩子

我怕面對你說到生活時

後悔過往的幼稚爭議

沒你的動人時節 喧譁歡騰

亦已經並無意義

閒話到此 遺憾到此結論是回憶總要到此

雖則你難忘記

這戀愛遺物終需棄置

再好好 過日子
