[English]

You drive a car as you say goodbye, telling me you're going home.

I still laugh and ask, so when will you take me home?

You drive a car, even if I don't say anything, I understand your heart—it's already heading to a place without me.

Leaving behind an empty silence, no echoes, endless longing.

...

Where are you after you leave? I hope you've found the broadness you seek.

I know it's not your fault; I couldn't give you the freedom you long for.

Where are you after you leave? I hope someone has taken in your loneliness.

When you're tired, do you ever think of the smile on my face?

Forgetting you is just like forgetting the part of me I love the most.

...

The feeling when I miss you is like shooting stars across the sky.

...

You gave me courage; over the long years, you're the past I can't let go of.

Even though we've long been too distant, the person I miss the most...

Where are you after you leave? I hope you've found the broadness you seek.

I know it's because I'm too timid; I never told you why I wanted you to stay.

Where are you after you leave? I hope someone has taken in your loneliness.

When you're tired, do you ever think of the smile on my face?

...

Where are you after you leave? I hope you've found the broadness you seek.

I know it's because I'm too timid; I never told you why I wanted you to stay.

Where are you after you leave? I hope someone has taken in your loneliness.

When you're tired, do you ever think of the smile on my face?

...

Do you ever think of the smile on my face?

...

After you leave, please live well. Thank you for helping me become the bravest version of myself.

After the rain, the sky clears; the sun will come, waiting for me.

...

[Chinese]

你開著一輛車 告別我說要回家

我還笑著說 那你何時要帶我回家

你開著一輛車 不說我也懂你的心 早已駛向沒我的地方

留下空空蕩蕩 毫無殘響 無盡牽掛

離開後的你在哪過 希望你找到你要的寬闊

我知道不是你的錯 是我給不了你嚮往的自由

離開後的你在哪過 希望誰收留了你的寂寞

每當你疲倦的時候 是否會想起我臉上的笑容

忘記你就像忘記 我最喜歡的自己

想念時的情緒 像劃破天際的流星

你給過我勇氣 漫長歲月中 你是我最放不下的過去

儘管你我早已有 太多距離 最想念的人啊

離開後的你在哪過 希望你找到你要的寬闊

我知道是我太懦弱 是我沒說出留下你的理由

離開後的你在哪過 希望誰收留了你的寂寞

每當你疲倦的時候 是否會想起我臉上的笑容

離開後的你在哪過 希望你找到你要的寬闊

我知道是我太懦弱 是我沒說出留下你的理由

離開後的你在哪過 希望誰收留了你的寂寞

每當你疲倦的時候 是否會想起我臉上的笑容

是否會想起我臉上的笑容

離開後 你要好好過 謝謝你成就最勇敢的我

雨後天晴 終有陽光 在等我
