[English]

While no one is around, I miss you

Sitting in the park, sighing softly

What is regret? My heart feels condemned

Watching the crowd rush past and take you away

Busy chasing the wind, too lazy to care

Trust that if you leave, there's still hope

Finally, I realize I can't find you anymore

Is it because the wounds are too deep? You don't want to remember

Blame no one for the unhappiness; after losing you, just live freely

The past is like rainwater

Wanting to love, but who to love? Searching for proof of lingering affection

The prophet's scars are so shattered

Drops of tears into the sea drown my heart

Heavy guilt I dare not remove

Falling into despair, losing everything

...

See? Even the sky seems to hate me

Looking back at the mistakes I made myself

Why did I leave you like this? Regretting my past

Finally, I hate even myself for a lifetime

It's gone, no chance to rewind or rewrite the ending

Blame no one for the unhappiness; after losing you, I just drift here

The past is like rainwater

Wanting to love, but who to love? Searching for proof of lingering affection

The prophet's scars are so shattered

Drops of tears into the sea drown my heart

Heavy guilt I dare not remove

Falling into despair, losing everything

If tears are all drained, I begin to crave sleep

Let me sink to the deepest, no reunion in sight

Blame no one for the unhappiness; after losing you, I remain here in silence

This is a ruin

Wanting to love, but who to love? Searching for proof of lingering affection

Only knowing how wrong I am

Drops of tears into the sea drown my heart

Heavy guilt I dare not remove

Falling into despair, losing everything

Escaping reality, not caring if it's right or wrong

...

[Chinese]

趁 無人之際想念你

呆在公園嘆口氣

何謂後悔 內心 被處死

看 人潮湧過奪走你

忙著追風懶得理

迷信你若離別了 還有轉機

好 終於我想找也找不到你

是嗎 是那傷痕太深 你不想記起

不快樂怪誰 失散後隨便活過去

過去像雨水

想愛但愛誰 搜索著留戀的證據

先知跌得多碎

掉進海的眼淚 淹浸我於心裡

沉重內疚不敢移除

沉落絕望 甚麼也失去

看 懷疑天也恨死我

回望親手鑄的錯

何以這樣遺下你 後悔當初

好 終於我一生也看不起我

沒了 沒有可能倒帶 再改寫結果

不快樂怪誰 失散後隨便活過去

過去像雨水

想愛但愛誰 搜索著留戀的證據

先知跌得多碎

掉進海的眼淚 淹浸我於心裡

沉重內疚不敢移除

沉落絕望 甚麼也失去

若流盡了眼淚 我開始渴睡

讓我沉落最深 不會團聚

不快樂怪誰 失散後呆滯在這裡

這裡是廢墟

想愛但愛誰 搜索著留戀的證據

只知我多不對

掉進海的眼淚 淹浸我於心裡

沉重內疚不敢移除

沉落絕望 甚麼也失去

逃避現實 別管對不對
