[English]

I want to break free from my dependence with no regrets

I didn’t have time to say I was uneasy

A little confused, a little slow

Only then did I realize promises were lies

You fell, and I could only watch

I love more and more

Love or not

It’s all become a burden between us

I want to break free from my dependence with no regrets

Unable to describe your silhouette

Watching your face

The beautiful moments in front of me are washed away by storms

Looking up, the sky is darkening

Such a strange phrase

You look at me and speak

I close my eyes

As if you are right beside me

When you stopped responding

I didn’t have time to say I was uneasy

A little confused, a little slow

Only then did I realize promises were lies

You fell, and I could only watch

I love more and more

Love or not

It’s all become a burden between us

I want to break free from my dependence with no regrets

I love more and more

I want to break free from my dependence with no regrets

Your scolding, line by line

Is the price of existence

I don’t want to panic and accept words of blame

Looking up, the sky darkens once again

I didn’t have time to say I was uneasy

A little confused, a little slow

Only then did I realize promises were lies

You fell, and I could only watch

I love more and more

Love or not

It’s all become a burden between us

I want to break free from my dependence with no regrets

I love more and more

I want to break free from my dependence with no regrets

[Chinese]

我想要痛快地離開我的依賴

我來不及道聲不安

有點混亂有點緩慢

才發現承諾是謊話

你倒下了我只能旁觀

我越來越愛

愛不愛

都成為我們的負擔

我想要痛快地離開我的依賴

說不出你的輪廓

看著你的模樣

眼前的美風雨沖淡了它

看天色漸暗了

好陌生的一句話

你看著我說話

我蒙上了眼

彷彿你在身旁

當你不再應答

我來不及道聲不安

有點混亂有點緩慢

才發現承諾是謊話

你倒下了我只能旁觀

我越來越愛

愛不愛

都成為我們的負擔

我想要痛快地離開我的依賴

我越來越愛

我想要痛快地離開我的依賴

一句句你的責罵

是存在的代價

不想讓我慌亂認痛責備的話

看天再一次暗了

我來不及道聲不安

有點混亂有點緩慢

才發現承諾是謊話

你倒下了我只能旁觀

我越來越愛

愛不愛

都成為我們的負擔

我想要痛快地離開我的依賴

我越來越愛

我想要痛快地離開我的依賴
