[English]

That car door closes, sealing our cracks

Breaking the path to turn back in one shout

Love can't be split evenly; from now on, it's for you guys

Maybe ending with hurt makes love more touching

People who tolerate aren’t really stupid; they just choose to be cruel to themselves

Since love can’t stay warm forever, I wish you the next person

You're a good person, but also a bad one

Being honest with me, just to run wildly toward him

Can't let it slide, so I let go

I can still bear this pain

I'm a good person, but also a bad one

Distancing yourself harshly gives you an excuse to turn away

I'd rather love with nothing left

Than watch lovers turn into strangers

People who tolerate aren’t really stupid; they just choose to be cruel to themselves

Since love can’t stay warm forever, I wish you the next person

You're a good person, but also a bad one

Being honest with me, just to run wildly toward him

Can't let it slide, so I let go

I can still bear this pain

I'm a good person, but also a bad one

Distancing yourself harshly gives you an excuse to turn away

I'd rather love with nothing left

Than watch lovers turn into strangers

Among three people, it's never equal; someone has to sacrifice

That eternal (that eternal) awaits him to complete you, oh

You're a good person, but also a bad one

Being honest with me, just to run wildly toward him

Can't let it slide, so I let go

I can still bear this pain

I'm a good person, but also a bad one

Distancing yourself harshly gives you an excuse to turn away

I'd rather love with nothing left

Than watch lovers turn into strangers

I'd rather love with nothing left

Than watch lovers turn into strangers

[Chinese]

那 一扇車門 關出 我們的裂痕

一聲就震斷了回頭的路程

愛 無法均分 以後 就留給你們

也許用傷害結束 愛才更動人

容忍的人其實並不笨 只是寧可對自己殘忍

既然愛不能恆溫 祝福就給你下一個人

你是好人 也是個壞人

對我坦承 只為了朝他狂奔

不能放任 所以放了

這點痛我還能忍

我是好人 也是個壞人

分得夠狠 你才有藉口轉身

寧願愛 一點不剩

也不忍 看戀人愛成路人

容忍的人其實並不笨 只是寧可對自己殘忍

既然愛不能恆溫 祝福就給你下一個人

你是好人 也是個壞人

對我坦承 只為了朝他狂奔

不能放任 所以放了

這點痛我還能忍

我是好人 也是個壞人

分得夠狠 你才有藉口轉身

寧願愛 一點不剩

也不忍 看戀人愛成路人

三個人從不對等 總有個人必須犧牲

那永恆（那永恆）就等他帶你完成 oh

你是好人 也是個壞人

對我坦承 只為了朝他狂奔

不能放任 所以放了

這點痛我還能忍

我是好人 也是個壞人

分得夠狠 你才有藉口轉身

寧願愛 一點不剩

也不忍 看戀人愛成路人

寧願愛 一點不剩

也不忍 看戀人愛成 路人
