Flipping through our photos

Memories fade in and out

Last winter’s moments

Our smiles were so sweet

Watching your tearful face

Saying goodbye to me

Too late to hear, you’ve walked so far away

Maybe you’ve given up on me

Maybe there’s no turning back

I know it’s my own mistake

Give me one more reason to say you don’t love me

Even if I don’t understand

Can you forgive me?

Don’t let breaking up be your only plea

I know your insistence on leaving is your excuse for the pain

Please turn back, I’ll stay with you till the end

Even without a result, I can bear it

I know your pain comes from my broken promises

You said I’ve spoiled you, my silence was tolerance

If you must leave, remember me

Maybe there’s no turning back

I know it’s my own mistake

Give me one more reason to say you don’t love me

Even if I don’t understand

Can you forgive me?

Don’t let breaking up be your only plea

I know your insistence on leaving is your excuse for the pain

Please turn back, I’ll stay with you till the end

Even without a result, I can bear it

I know your pain comes from my broken promises

You said I’ve spoiled you, my silence was tolerance

If you must leave, remember me

If you’re sad, please forget me

翻著我們的照片

想念若隱若現

去年的冬天

我們笑得很甜

看著妳哭泣的臉

對著我說再見

來不及聽見 妳已走得很遠

也許妳已經放棄我

也許已經很難回頭

我知道是自己錯過

請再給我一個理由 說妳不愛我

就算是我不懂

能不能原諒我

請不要把分手當作妳的請求

我知道堅持要走 是妳受傷的藉口

請妳回頭 我會陪妳 一直到最後

就算沒有結果 我也能夠承受

我知道妳的痛 是我給的承諾

妳說給過我縱容 沉默是因為包容

如果要走 請妳記得我

如果難過 請妳忘了我
