[English]

When I close my eyes, I think of you

And all the times that we went through

Even though we're far apart now

I remember when you were here with me

How you made my world complete

But now I'm left alone

We talked about love and hope

Wishing we could start a life of our own

I wish that I could live without you

Why did you tear my heart apart?

You said you loved me from the start

All those painful things you put me through

But I'm still loving you

I've tried to give my best to you

I don't deserve the things you do

Everything has faded to memories

I just wish I knew the truth behind your lies

...

We talked about love and hope

Wishing we could start a life of our own

I wish that I could live without you

Why did you tear my heart apart?

You said you loved me from the start

All those painful things you put me through

But I'm still loving you

I've tried to give my best to you

I don't deserve the things you do

Everything has faded to memories

I just wish I knew the truth behind your lies

...

Why did you tear my heart apart?

You said you loved me from the start

All those painful things you put me through

But I'm still loving you

I've tried to give my best to you

I don't deserve the things you do

Everything has faded to memories

I just wish I knew the truth behind your lies

...

[Chinese]

When I close my eyes I think of you

And the times we've had been through

Even though were far apart right now

I remember back when you were here with me

How you've make my world complete

But now i'm left alone

We talked about love and hope

Wishing we could start a life our own

I wish that I could live without you

Why did you tear my heart apart?

You said you love me from the start

All those painful things you've put me through

But i'm still loving you

I've tried to give my best to you

I don't deserve things you do

Everything has gone to memories

I just wish I know the truth behind the lies

We talked about love and hope

Wishing we could start a life our own

I wish that I could live without you

Why did you tear my heart apart?

You said you love me from the start

All those painful things you've put me through

But i'm still loving you

I've tried to give my best to you

I don't deserve the things you do

Everything has gone to memories

I just wish I know the truth behind the lies

Why did you tear my heart apart?

You said you love me from the start

All those painful things you've put me through

But i'm still loving you

I've tried to give my best to you

I don't deserve the things you do

Everything has gone to memories

I just wish I know the truth behind the lies
