[English]

Since the day I stopped talking to you, I forget when it was

Loving someone, I watch the heavy rain fall

No contact, loneliness spreads like a chain reaction

Even trying to be happy feels so exhausting

Thunderstorms make this world feel like a disaster movie

It leaves the current me feeling nothing but pity

Sorry, no one has a time machine

What’s already over can't be negotiated

I hope you are my exclusive memory

Hidden deep in my heart, no matter how harsh others may say

What I now have

It's you, the half of love you gave me

Loving you is my exclusive memory

No one can take you away from my body

In my emotional blockade zone

About you, I won't mention it, no problem

Thunderstorms make this world feel like a disaster movie

It leaves the current me feeling nothing but pity

Sorry, no one has a time machine

What’s already over can't be negotiated

I hope you are my exclusive memory

Hidden deep in my heart, no matter how harsh others may say

What I now have

It's you, the half of love you gave me

Loving you is my exclusive memory

No one can take you away from my body

In my emotional blockade zone

About you, I won't mention it, it's okay

I hope you are my exclusive memory

Hidden deep in my heart, no matter how harsh others may say

What I now have

It's you, the half of love you gave me

Loving you is my exclusive memory

No one can take you away from my body

In my emotional blockade zone

About you, I won't mention it, no deadline

...

[Chinese]

忘記分開後的第幾天起

喜歡一個人 看下大雨

沒聯絡 孤單就像連鎖反應

想要快樂都沒力氣

雷雨世界像場災難電影

讓現在的我 可憐到底

對不起 誰也沒有時光機器

已經結束的 沒有商量的餘地

我希望你 是我獨家的記憶

擺在心底 不管別人說的多麼難聽

現在我擁有的事情

是你 是給我一半的愛情

我喜歡你 是我獨家的記憶

誰也不行 從我這個身體中拿走你

在我感情的封鎖區

有關於你 絕口不提 沒問題

雷雨世界像場災難電影

讓現在的我 可憐到底

對不起 誰也沒有時光機器

已經結束的 沒有商量的餘地

我希望你 是我獨家的記憶

擺在心底 不管別人說的多麼難聽

現在我擁有的事情

是你 是給我一半的愛情

我喜歡你 是我獨家的記憶

誰也不行 從我這個身體中拿走你

在我感情的封鎖區

有關於你 絕口不提 沒關系

我希望你 是我獨家的記憶

擺在心底 不管別人說的多麼難聽

現在我擁有的事情

是你 是給我一半的愛情

我喜歡你 是我獨家的記憶

誰也不行 從我這個身體中拿走你

在我感情的封鎖區

有關於你 絕口不提 沒限期
