Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

雨下在我窗前 玻璃也在流眼淚

Rain falls in front of my window, and the glass is also crying

街上的人都看起來 比我幸福一點

Everyone on the street seems a little happier than me

...

...

用寂寞來測驗 還是最想要你陪

Trying loneliness to test, but what I really want is you to stay

曾一起走過的夏天 我常常會夢見

The summers we once walked through, I often dream of them

我猜不到你真正的感覺

I can't guess how you truly feel

思念寫成臉上的黑眼圈

Longing turns into dark circles under my eyes

有的時候我寧願 你對我壞一點

Sometimes I’d rather you be a little cruel to me

無法停止幻想我們的永遠

Unable to stop imagining our forever

愛你是孤單的心事 不懂你微笑的意思

Loving you is a lonely secret, I Don’t understand what your smile means

只能像一朵向日葵在夜裡默默的堅持

Just like a sunflower silently holding on through the night

愛你是孤單的心事 多希望你對我誠實

Loving you is a lonely secret, I wish you were honest with me

一直愛著你 用我自己的方式

Loving you all along, in my own way

...

...

我在你的心裡 有沒有一點特別

Am I truly in your heart, something special?

就怕你終究沒發現 我還在你身邊

I'm just afraid you haven't noticed, I’m still by your side

我猜不到你真正的感覺

I can't guess how you truly feel

思念寫成臉上的黑眼圈

Longing turns into dark circles under my eyes

...

...

有的時候我寧願 你對我壞一點

Sometimes I’d rather you be a little cruel to me

無法停止幻想我們的永遠

Unable to stop imagining our forever

愛你是孤單的心事 不懂你微笑的意思

Loving you is a lonely secret, I Don’t understand what your smile means

只能像一朵向日葵在夜裡默默的堅持

Just like a sunflower silently holding on through the night

愛你是孤單的心事 多希望你對我誠實

Loving you is a lonely secret, I wish you were honest with me

一直愛著你 用我自己的方式

Loving you all along, in my own way
