[English]

If I cut off the overly sensitive nerves, will I sleep better?

My heart has a gray prison.

Locked inside are a bunch of dark thoughts screaming.

If I remove my stubborn temper,

will I be understood better?

You can knock me down hard,

but don't even think about me begging for mercy.

You are the angel among devils.

So the way you break my heart,

is to make me laugh until the very last second.

Only then do I realize there's a knife in my chest.

You are the angel among devils.

Turning hate into something too cliché.

Two words of thanks flow from my eyes.

Even if you call me crazy,

don't call me a fool.

If I remove my stubborn temper,

will I be understood better?

You can knock me down hard,

but don't even think about me begging for mercy.

You are the angel among devils.

So the way you break my heart,

is to make me laugh until the very last second.

Only then do I realize there's a knife in my chest.

You are the angel among devils.

Turning hate into something too cliché.

Two words of thanks flow from my eyes.

Even if you call me crazy,

don't call me a fool.

Let others piece together our story.

I can't be bothered to explain.

How do you explain love?

When someone wants to see me shatter,

I have already become strong again.

Reborn once more.

You are the angel among devils.

So the way you break my heart,

is to make me laugh until the very last second.

Only then do I realize there's a knife in my chest.

You are the angel among devils.

Turning hate into something too cliché.

Two words of thanks flow from my eyes.

Even if you call me crazy,

don't call me a fool.

[Chinese]

把太細的神經割掉 會不會比較睡得著

我的心有座灰色的監牢

關著一票黑色念頭在吼叫

把太硬的脾氣抽掉

會不會比較被明瞭

你可以重重把我給打倒

但是想都別想我求饒

你是魔鬼中的天使

所以送我心碎的方式

是讓我笑到最後一秒為止

才發現自己胸口插了一把刀子

你是魔鬼中的天使

讓恨變成太俗氣的事

從眼裡流下謝謝兩個字

盡管叫我瘋子

不准叫我傻子

把太硬的脾氣抽掉

會不會比較被明瞭

你可以重重把我給打倒

但是想都別想我求饒

你是魔鬼中的天使

所以送我心碎的方式

是讓我笑到最後一秒為止

才發現自己胸口插了一把刀子

你是魔鬼中的天使

讓恨變成太俗氣的事

從眼裡流下謝謝兩個字

盡管叫我瘋子

不准叫我傻子

隨人去拼湊我們的故事

我懶得解釋

愛怎麼解釋

當誰想看我碎裂的樣子

我已經又頑強

重生一次

你是魔鬼中的天使

所以送我心碎的方式

是讓我笑到最後一秒為止

才發現自己胸口插了一把刀子

你是魔鬼中的天使

讓恨變成太俗氣的事

從眼裡流下謝謝兩個字

盡管叫我瘋子

不准叫我傻子
