[English]

There’s a man who loves you, loves you sincerely

That man loves you, loves you completely

He’d rather become a shadow, protect and follow you

That man loves you, yet his heart is crying

How much longer, how much more pain

Until you hear the words he never said

Standing strong is like a lie, just a masquerade

He only hopes for a chance to be loved by you

How much longer, how much more longing

Until you walk toward him, close beside him

A smile like a lie, just a simple disguise

Tears can only hide away

...

That man loves you, forgets himself

Since then, he’s been cautious, quietly waiting for love

He’d rather choose to believe, saying nothing for you

That man loves you, pain buried in memories

No matter how long, how much pain

He still loves you, just as before

Like a fool talking to the empty air

Could he get a chance to be loved by you?

How much longer, how much more longing

Until you walk toward him, close beside him

A smile like a lie, just a simple disguise

Tears can only hide away

...

That man is me, do you know?

Or do you still pretend not to know?

Ask until hoarse

And you won’t answer

...

How much longer, how much more pain

Until you hear the words I never said

Standing strong is like a lie, just a masquerade

I only hope for a chance to be loved by you

No matter how long, how much hurt

I still love you, every second, every moment

Like a fool talking to the air

Waiting for your love

...

[Chinese]

有個男人愛著你 用心愛著你

那個男人愛著你 徹底愛著你

他情願變成影子 守護著你跟隨著你

那個男人愛著你 心卻在哭泣

還需要多久 多長 多傷

你才會聽見他沒說的話

堅強像謊言一樣 不過是一種偽裝

他只希望有個機會能被你愛上

還需要多久 多長 多渴望

你才會走向他 貼在他的身旁

微笑像謊言一樣 是最起碼的假裝

眼淚只能躲藏

那個男人愛著你 忘記了自己

從此他小心翼翼 靜靜等待愛情

他情願選擇相信 為了你不言不語

那個男人愛著你 傷埋在回憶

不論要 多久 多長 多傷

他還是愛著你 一如往常

就好像一個傻瓜 對著那空氣說話

他會不會有個機會能被你愛上

還需要多久 多長 多渴望

你才會走向他 貼在他的身旁

微笑像謊言一樣 是最起碼的假裝

眼淚只能躲藏

那個男人就是我 你知道嗎

還是知道卻假裝不知道嗎

問到沙啞

你也不會回答

還需要多久 多長 多傷

你才會聽見我沒說的話

堅強像謊言一樣 不過是一種偽裝

我只希望有個機會能被你愛上

不論要 多久 多長 多受傷

我還是愛著你 每分每秒一樣

就好像一個傻瓜 對著那空氣說話

等著被你愛上
