That night you walked away in the rain.

...

Soak my heartbreak.

...

I can't wipe away the fake kiss you left behind.

Remembering the words you spoke to deceive me.

...

Since you've decided to leave.

...

Why leave behind these lingering feelings?

...

Make me believe you had no choice.

Make it impossible for me to forget completely.

...

I'd rather you stay cruel to the end.

Let me forget with all my heart.

I'd rather you be utterly heartless.

Let me give up completely.

I'd rather only be heartbroken once.

I don't want to be sad day and night either.

I'd rather you stay cruel to the end.

Please don't say it again.

Please don't say it again.

...

I still love you.

你走的那场夜雨

淋湿我的伤心

抹不去你留下虚伪的唇印

回想你欺骗的话语

既然已决定离去

为何还留下残情

让我以为你是迫不得已

让我不能彻底忘记

我宁愿你冷酷到底

让我死心塌地忘记

我宁愿你绝情到底

让我彻底的放弃

我宁愿只伤心一次

也不要日夜都伤心

我宁愿你冷酷到底

请别再说

你走的那场夜雨
