[English]

So why you gotta hold on to those memories

Leaving us stuck in a dilemma

If only I could just call you

And say everything I want to say

Even if sadness has diluted the memories

I still remember them sometimes

So why you gotta hold on to

those memories

Would you let me know what‘s on your mind?

Your temporary status updates reveal clues

wait..

Recalling the message in case someone's watching

The days I've missed you aren't just a few

Deep inside

The clues left behind

Even time can't fade away

If you miss me girl would you tell me so

Cuz it ain’t hard to find

I’ve been waiting and waiting the whole time

All the cards are on the table, how do we play this now?

It's your call

So why you gotta hold on to those memories

Leaving us stuck in a dilemma

If only I could just call you

And say everything I want to say

Even if sadness has diluted the memories

I still remember them sometimes

So why you gotta hold on to

those memories

(those memories)

(those memories)

(I’m up in the sky)

(You’re flying a kite)

(won’t let me go)

(I‘m feeling so small)

But who would've guessed?

I also wish I could find someone like you

But I’m not Adele

I also wish I could pretend not to care

When you’re not around

Is loving you a blessing or a curse?

I would never let you fall

Hold on to that rope

Tied on my throat

Even if holding onto each other is a mistake

You could cut me open

cut me deep don’t cut me loose

So why you gotta hold on to those memories

Leaving us stuck in a dilemma

If only I could just call you

And say everything I want to say

Even if sadness has diluted the memories

I still remember them sometimes

So why you gotta hold on to

those memories

I'm tired of all these times

Every time, I'm the one who accommodates you

(I'm the one who accommodates you)

It's all said so simply

But how many times have I said I want to let you go?

(How many times have I said I want to let you go?)

I hate myself

That day outside the private room, I held you tight

(Outside the private room, held you tight)

Just tell me why you gotta hold on to

those memories

So why you gotta hold on to

[Chinese]

So why you gotta hold on to those memories

讓我們進退兩難

能不能夠一通電話 想打給你

把想講的都講完

就算悲傷沖淡了回憶

偶爾還是會想起

So why you gotta hold on to

those memories

Would you let me know what‘s on your mind?

妳的限時動態露出蛛絲馬跡

wait..

把訊息收回in case there’s someone watching

想妳的天數不只這點那點

Deep inside

留下的線索

論時間也沖不淡

If you miss me girl would you tell me so

Cuz it ain’t hard to find

I’ve been waiting and waiting the whole time

牌都攤在桌上 怎麼算

你說的算

So why you gotta hold on to those memories

讓我們進退兩難

能不能夠一通電話 想打給你

把想講的都講完

就算悲傷沖淡了回憶

偶爾還是會想起

So why you gotta hold on to

those memories

(those memories)

(those memories)

(I’m up in the sky)

(You’re flying a kite)

(won’t let me go)

(I‘m feeling so small)

但誰猜得到

我也希望能find someone like you

But I’m not Adele

我也希望能裝作不在乎

When you’re not around

到底愛你是福還是禍？

I would never let you fall

Hold on to that rope

Tied on my throat

就算握緊彼此是一種失誤

You could cut me open

cut me deep don’t cut me loose

So why you gotta hold on to those memories

讓我們進退兩難

能不能夠一通電話 想打給你

把想講的都講完

就算悲傷沖淡了回憶

偶爾 還是會想起

So why you gotta hold on to

those memories

I’m sick at all these time

每次都是我在配合你

(都是我在配合你)

都說得很簡單

但說了幾次想要放下你

(說了幾次想要放下你)

I hate myself

那天在包廂外面抱緊你

(包廂外面抱緊你)

Just tell me why you gotta hold on to

those memories

So why you gotta hold on to
