[English]

but few want to change themselves.

but few want to change themselves.

It's all been said.

It seems like there's nothing left to say.

We always sit silently facing each other,

our eyes reflecting the deep darkness.

Love is obsessive,

the more we love, the more obsessive it becomes.

You don't believe what I'm seeing,

insisting that the cracks are merely

complications.

How is it that the one who burned brightest first became cold first?

But the one slow to warm up can't stop, still boiling.

Watching time run wild, twisting and turning at will,

those who are slow to cool down will torment themselves.

Impulsive people never hear gentleness.

This world is so vast, it's hard not to explore it.

Romance makes you gentle, but also brings the most tears.

Holding your hand,

casually holding your hand.

You're like a passive puppet,

so many hateful words pierce through.

How is it that the one who burned brightest first became cold first?

But the one slow to warm up can't stop, still boiling.

Watching time run wild, twisting and turning at will,

those who are slow to cool down will torment themselves.

Impulsive people never hear gentleness.

This world is so vast, it's hard not to explore it.

Romance makes you gentle, but also brings the most tears.

Love never conquers character; holding on is the most painful.

I always remember the beginning of love and hate,

the thrill of falling in love in a dream.

How is it that the one who burned brightest first became cold first?

But the one slow to warm up can't stop, still boiling.

Watching time run wild, twisting and turning at will,

those who are slow to cool down will torment themselves.

Impulsive people never hear gentleness.

This world is so vast, it's hard not to explore it.

Romance makes you gentle, but also brings the most tears.

Tears flow.

but a loving heart.

but a loving heart.

[Chinese]

大多數人 想改造 這個世界

但 卻 罕有人 想改造 自己

說完了

好像話都說完了

總是沉默對坐著

眼裡是濃濃夜色

感情是偏執的

越愛越是偏執的

不相信我看到

硬要說裂縫不過

是周折

怎麼先熾熱的卻先變冷了

慢熱的卻停不了還在沸騰著

看時光任性快跑隨意就轉折

慢冷的人啊 會自我折磨

衝動的人向來聽不見溫柔

這世界大得讓你很難不旅遊

浪漫讓你溫柔也讓你最惹人淚流

牽你手

若無其事牽你手

你像被動的木偶

多很多讓人厭惡的刺透

怎麼先熾熱的卻先變冷了

慢熱的卻停不了還在沸騰著

看時光任性快跑隨意就轉折

慢冷的人啊 會自我折磨

衝動的人向來聽不見溫柔

這世界大得讓你很難不旅遊

浪漫讓你溫柔也讓你最惹人淚流

愛從不敵性格不死心最痛

愛恨我總是記得開始

被夢戀愛的悸動

怎麼先熾熱的卻先變冷了

慢熱的卻停不了還在沸騰著

看時光任性快跑隨意就轉折

慢冷的人啊 會自我折磨

衝動的人向來聽不見溫柔

這世界大得讓你很難不旅遊

浪漫讓你溫柔也讓你最惹人淚流

淚流

沉默 失去的不是一個愛人

而是一顆愛人的心
