[English]

Not liking to doubt anything doesn't mean I don't have feelings

Watching your subtle changes, slowly becoming different

I'm not angry, just heartbroken

I hate being misunderstood the most, but the more I explain, the sadder I feel

You can say people change, but you can't say it's my fault for what you did

...

Crying is fine, the pain will heal

Believing this, I take a deep breath and let go

Love is for embracing, for holding hands

Not for arguing, not for turning back

Crying is fine, the pain will go away

Memories are limited, so they will filter out the bad ones

Sleepless, listening to songs, missing you even though it's bitter

Still, thank you for helping me grow up

...

I hate being misunderstood the most, but the more I explain, the sadder I feel

You can say people change, but you can't say it's my fault for what you did

Crying is fine, the pain will heal

Believing this, I take a deep breath and let go

Love is for embracing, for holding hands

Not for arguing, not for turning back

Crying is fine, the pain will go away

Memories are limited, so they will filter out the bad ones

Sleepless, listening to songs, missing you even though it's bitter

Still, thank you for helping me grow up

The more beautiful past accumulates

To forget, I have to push down even greater sadness

Looking for courage, but it's not in my pockets or hands

But it must be somewhere within me

...

Crying is fine, the pain will go away

Memories are limited, so they will filter out the bad ones

Sleepless, listening to songs, missing you even though it's bitter

Still, thank you for helping me grow up

[Chinese]

不喜歡懷疑什麼 並不表示我沒有感受

看你微妙的變化 慢慢不同

我不是生氣 只是心痛

最討厭被誤會了 但越解釋越覺得難過

你可以説人會變 但不能説 你會這麼做是我的錯

哭過就好了 傷都會好的

這樣相信所以深呼吸著割捨

愛是為了擁抱 為了牽手

不是為了爭吵 為了調頭

哭過就好了 痛都會走的

記憶有限所以它會淘汰壞的

失眠聽歌想念雖然苦澀

還是謝謝你讓我長大了

最討厭被誤會了 但越解釋越覺得難過

你可以説人會變 但不能説 你會這麼做是我的錯

哭過就好了 傷都會好的

這樣相信所以深呼吸著割捨

愛是為了擁抱 為了牽手

不是為了爭吵 為了調頭

哭過就好了 痛都會走的

記憶有限所以它會淘汰壞的

失眠聽歌想念雖然苦澀

還是謝謝你讓我長大了

越多美好堆疊的過往

想忘就得推倒更大的悲傷

要找勇氣卻不在口袋或手上

但它一定在我身上某個地方

哭過就好了 痛都會走的

記憶有限所以它會淘汰壞的

失眠聽歌想念雖然苦澀

還是謝謝你讓我長大了
