Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

雨都停了 這片天灰什麼呢

The rain has stopped, what’s with this grey sky?

我還記得 你說我們要快樂

I still remember, you said we should be happy.

深夜裡的腳步聲 總是刺耳

Footsteps in the late night are always harsh to my ears.

害怕寂寞 就讓狂歡的城市陪我關燈

Afraid of loneliness, so I let the lively city share my darkness.

只是哪怕周圍再多人 感覺還是一個人

Even if there are many around, I still feel alone.

每當我笑了 心卻狠狠的哭著

Whenever I smile, my heart is crying hard inside.

給我一個理由忘記 那麼愛我的你

Give me a reason to forget, the one who loved me so much.

給我一個理由放棄 當時做的決定

Give me a reason to give up, on the decision I made then.

有些愛 越想抽離卻越更清晰

Some love, the more I try to pull away, the clearer it becomes.

而最痛的距離 是你不在身邊 卻在我的心裡

And the most painful distance is you not being here, yet living in my heart.

...

...

當我走在 去過的每個地方

Walking through every place I’ve been to,

總會聽到 你那最自由的笑

I hear your most free laugh every time.

當我回到 一個人住的地方

When I return to the place I live alone,

最怕看到冬天你最愛穿的那件外套

I fear the sight of your favorite winter coat.

只是哪怕周圍再多人 感覺還是一個人

Even if there are many around, I still feel alone.

每當我笑了 心卻狠狠的哭著

Whenever I smile, my heart is crying hard inside.

給我一個理由忘記 那麼愛我的你

Give me a reason to forget, the one who loved me so much.

給我一個理由放棄 當時做的決定

Give me a reason to give up, on the decision I made then.

有些愛 越想抽離卻越更清晰

Some love, the more I try to pull away, the clearer it becomes.

而最痛的距離 是你不在身邊 卻在我的心裡

And the most painful distance is you not being here, yet living in my heart.

...

...

我找不到理由忘記 大雨裡的別離

I can't find a reason to forget, parting in the heavy rain.

我找不到理由放棄 我等你的決心

I can't find a reason to give up, my resolve to wait for you.

有些愛 越想抽離卻越更清晰

Some love, the more I try to pull away, the clearer it becomes.

而最痛的距離 是你不在身邊 卻在我的心裡

And the most painful distance is you not being here, yet living in my heart.

...

...

我想你

I miss you.

...
