[English]

Left or right, front or back

Take everything you want, just go ahead

I’ve thought about it, why is it me

I’ve also laughed before, just recently cried, do you understand?

My heart is complicated

I’ve grown up, I’m not stupid

Times we spent together, wide-eyed

Fallen apart beneath my feet in the blink of an eye

You say we’re all just普通人

Partings and meetings, all leave scars

In my dreams, you smile so genuinely

Gatherings, partings, still one family

...

My heart is complicated

I’ve grown up, I’m not stupid

Times we spent together, wide-eyed

Fallen apart beneath my feet in the blink of an eye

I don’t want things to be so complicated

Just want to sit on the sofa together

Woh, do you understand?

You say we’re all just普通人

Partings and meetings, all leave scars

In my dreams, you smile so genuinely

But I won’t cry, I won’t hate

You say we’re all just普通人

One sentence can heal those scars

In reality, you smile so genuinely

But I won’t cry, I won’t hate you

...

[Chinese]

左或右 前或後

你要的啊 都帶走吧

也想過 怎麼是我

曾經也笑過 最近才哭過 你懂嗎

我的心很複雜

我長大了我並不傻

眼睜睜共度的年華

轉眼間散落我腳下

你說我們都是普通人

離的散的都留下傷痕

回憶夢裡你笑得最真

散聚離合還是一家人

我的心很複雜

我長大了我並不傻

眼睜睜共度的年華

轉眼間散落我腳下

我不想要那麼複雜

只想一起坐在沙發

Woh 你們懂嗎

你說我們都是普通人

離的散的都留下傷痕

回憶夢裡你笑得最真

但我不會哭 也不會恨

你說我們都是普通人

一句話也撫平過傷痕

現實裡的你笑得最真

但我不會哭 也不會恨你
